1. Re: Typhoon season. Aug 22, 2011, 3:50 AM. The typhoons are not much to worry about compared to places like the Philippines where there is risk of mudslides and torrential flooding - even in the capital of Manila. Yes, it can rain like mad and be very windy but Hong Kong is quite typhoon proof for the most part. Generally speaking our biggest concern is that transportation might shut down and schools close but the likelihood of danger due to typhoons is very low.
