Storm Warnings. At the request of the Chamber of Commerce the Hongkong Government adopted the China Seas Storm Signal Code from 1920, June 1, in place of the Hongkong Non-Local Code introduced in 1917. The signals are displayed on Kowloon Signal Hill.
The following Ports are warned by a telegraphic adaptation of the code:-Sharp Peak, Swatow, Amoy, Santuao, Macao, Canton, Wuchow, Phulien, Taihoku, Manila, Labuan, and Singapore. 218 storm warnings were sent in 1923 and 229 were received from Manila. 3 were received from Phulien, via Quang Chau Wan Radio Station.
Local typhoon signals are exhibited on the Observatory radio mast and repeated at the Harbour Office, H.M.S. Tamar, Green Island, the Godown Company, (Kowloon), Lyemun, and Lai Chi Kok, during the day.
The local night signals are exhibited on the Observatory Radio Mast and repeated on the tower of the Kowloon Railway Station, on H.M.S. Tamar, and at the Harbour Office.
A translation of the non-local and local storm warnings is exhibited at the Harbour Office, the General Post Office and the Star Ferry Piers and also sent to the Cape d'Aguilar Radio Station, whence it is broadcast at about noon and repeated every two hours until midnight. If a second warning is issued during the day the later warning is substituted.
When a local storm warning is displayed at the Observatory a cone is exhibited at several outlying stations for the benefit of native craft and passing ocean vessels.
