Two events, the passage of Typhoon KALMAEGI and the intense rainstorm in March, attracted much attention at that time and they received the highest number of votes. They are followed by the passage of Typhoon RAMMASUN in July, which necessitated a Strong Wind Signal. 颱風海鷗來襲及 3 月的一場大雨於當時受廣泛關注,分別成為得票最多的頭兩項事件,而第三位則是 7 月颱風威馬遜橫過南海並影響本港。

9月15日: 熱帶氣旋海鷗來襲,天文台發出本年唯一一個八號烈風及暴風信號。海鷗風圈之廣使這八號信號成為數十年來距離香港最遠的一個。由於其移速高,天文台於其進入本港 800 公里範圍前發出一號戒備信號,是 25 年以來首次。

Sep 15: Tropical cyclone Kalmaegi affected the territory and the only #8 Gale or Storm Signal this year was issued. Due to its wide wind radius, Kalmaegi became the storm farthest away from Hong Kong that necessitated the #8 Signal in decades. Its high speed prompted the Observatory to issue the #1 Standby Signal before it came to within 800 km from the territory, the first time in 25 years.

3月30日: 一低壓槽橫過本港,當天傍晚多區下起傾盆大雨,廣泛地區於數小時間錄得超過 100 毫米雨量。天文台於晚上 9 至 10 時錄得雨量 56 毫米,打破三月份的最高時雨量紀錄,期間所發出的黑色暴雨警告是自該系統推出以來首次於 3 月份發出。大雨及冰雹造成多處水浸及破壞,較觸目的有又一城商場天花漏水成室內瀑布。冰雹於 4 月 2 日再度來襲,主要影響新界北部。

Mar 30: A trough of low pressure passed through the territory, leading to torrential rain in the evening. Many places saw more than 100 mm of rainfall in a couple of hours. The HK Observatory recorded 56 mm of rain between 9 and 10 pm, breaking the hourly record in March. The Black Rainstorm Warning issued was also the first occurrence since the inception of the rainfall warning system. The rain and hail resulted in widespread flooding and damage; a notable incident was the roof damage at Festival Walk which literally rendered the shopping mall an indoor waterfall. Hail was once observed on April 2, this time mainly affecting northern New Territories.

7月18日: 熱帶氣旋威馬遜橫過南海,天文台發出三號強風信號。威馬遜當天最接近香港,於本港西南約 390 公里掠過。威馬遜於登陸海南前加強為超強颱風,而此前風暴橫過菲律賓中部,造成超過 100 人死亡。

Jul 18: Tropical cyclone Rammasun crossed South China Sea; the Observatory issued the #3 Strong Wind Signal. Rammasun was closest to Hong Kong that day, passing at around 390 km southwest of the territory. Rammasun intensified into a super typhoon before making landfall at Hainan. The storm crossed central Philippines earlier, resulting in more than 100 deaths.

11月8日: 熱帶氣旋鸚鵡的殘餘增強,成為一股強勁的溫帶氣旋,其中心氣壓跌至約 920 百帕,創下該區最強溫帶氣旋的紀錄。它使北美出現阻塞高壓,導致 11 月 18 日美國各州均出現零度以下低溫。

Nov 8: The remnants of tropical cyclone Nuri intensified again, becoming a powerful extratropical cyclone. It reached a central pressure of 920 hPa, the lowest on record in that area.

Feb 12: An intense surge of northeast monsoon affected Hong Kong. The minimum temperature of 7.3 degrees that day was the lowest in February since 1996. The mercury dipped to 8.2 degrees on February 14, making it the coldest Valentine's Day cum Lantern Festival on record.

Jun: The average temperature of this month reached 29.0 degrees, the hottest June since records began. The monthly average temperature record was broken again in July, at 29.8 degrees.
