1920–1935 Pacific typhoon seasons

(Redirected from 1923 Hong Kong typhoon)

The following is a list of Pacific typhoon seasons from 1920 to 1935. Data from these years was extremely unreliable, so there were many more typhoons that did not hit land and were not detected by ships. The average from these times was 23 tropical storms, which now would be considered a well-below-average season.
