Living in Hong Kong: Typhoon and Storms 在港生活：颱風和風暴

In Hong Kong, the rainy season runs between Feb and March where the humidity can reach approximately 90% and typhoons usually hit during the summer.

The window installation standard of the buildings in Hong Kong are not the best and they are often loosely fitted causing water leak when faced with strong rainstorm or typhoon weather. It is the tenant’s responsibility to take all precautionary measures to prevent the damage. Please follow the below steps when there is a possibility of heavy rain and wind:

1) Close all windows.

2) Close all the ventilation fans installed in the windows.

Window fans have cover and when it is open, the strong wind can easily blow off the cover and rain will come in.

3) Remove items kept near the windows. Water and broken windows may cause serious damage to your belongings.

4) Secure the windows by putting tape over the glasses to avoid water leaking.

After you take the above measurement, you must be safe in Hong Kong during typhoon seasons. Wish you have a happy stay in Hong Kong.

在香港，雨季在2月至3月之間，濕度可達到約90％，颱風通常發生在夏季。

香港建築物的窗戶在面對強烈暴雨或颱風天氣時，它們有可能會鬆散，導致漏水。承租人有責任採取一切預防措施來防止損壞。當下大雨和颱風時，請按照以下防禦居所：

1）關閉所有窗戶。

2）關閉通風扇。通風扇上的蓋子，當它打開時，強風很容易吹掉，雨水也會進來。在這種情況下，租戶將承擔相應的費用。

3）取下靠近窗戶的物品。水和破窗可能會對您的財物造成嚴重損壞。

4）窗戶上貼上膠帶，以防颱風吹破或漏水。
