2026 Typhoon Season Outlook for Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Observatory projects that Hong Kong will experience four to seven typhoons between June and October in 2026. This figure is less than half of last year's record-breaking 14 tropical typhoons. The tropical cyclone season is expected to commence in June or later and conclude in October or before this year.
