Although Hong Kong has not experienced a really severe typhoon since 1937, the Colony lies in the path of Pacific typhoons and therefore has to be ever on the alert. First warning of a typhoon in the vicinity is given when the No. 1 Signal is hoisted at the Royal Observatory. Below: Typhoon "Ida", the centre of which passed 80 miles south of Hong Kong in August, 1954, caused heavy seas in the harbour.
