Typhoons, the Asian version of hurricanes, occur between May and November. You can count on at least three or four typhoons a year. If the typhoon signal is 8 and above (10 is the maximum), buses, ferries, schools, and businesses will close down, and flights may be cancelled. There is a separate warning system for heavy rains; the Black signal means, well, the sky is black with rain and activities will also stop.
