Typhoon Sam of the 1999 Pacific typhoon season became the wettest known tropical cyclone to impact Hong Kong since records began in 1884, breaking a 73‑year‑old record.Hong Kong Observatory. Weather Cases: Typhoon Sam Retrieved on June 23, 2007. Precipitation associated with tropical cyclones and their remains can bring snow to Tibet.
