Typhoon Compass hits Hong Kong, and the Observatory states that Gale or Storm Signal No. 8 will be maintained before noon.
Under the typhoon, in addition to paying attention to safety and searching for purchases, many people are concerned about whether they can take a day of "wind break".
The reporter checked the information about the past ten years and found that the Observatory had issued tropical cyclone warning signals of No. 8 or above many times, but the days when employees "have holidays" are few.
According to the information on the Observatory’s website, in the ten years from January 2012 to the present, apart from this typhoon compass, a total of 19 tropical cyclones have brought warning signals of No. 8 or above to Hong Kong, including 3 typhoon signals No. 10 .

However, wage earners really have the opportunity to release the number of "wind breaks" throughout the day. Except for compasses, there have been only three times in the past ten years. They were Super Typhoon Haima in October 2016 and August 2017. The super typhoon Hato, and the tropical storm Nangka in October 2020.

In addition to the above three times, in the past ten years, wage earners have had the opportunity to "half the day" on six occasions. The rest are either late at night or early morning, or on Sundays.
For example, the Mangosteen in September 2018 was suspended at 1 o'clock in the morning on Sunday and cancelled at 5 o'clock in the morning on Monday.
