For Hong Kong, can be impacts including with more chance of typhoons nearby [or right over…]:
During La Niña, tropical cyclones in August-October are likely driven by an anomalous steering flow into the South China Sea and hence more tropical cyclones are likely to affect Hong Kong compared to the ENSO-neutral state.

Some chance, too, Hong Kong will be drier than normal in late summer and autumn, with somewhat cooler autumn and winter.
