Hong Kong Weather - Beware of Monsoon Season!


Located with Mainland China to the North and surrounded by the South China Sea to the South, West, and East, Hong Kong has a subtropical, humid climate. HK enjoys four distinct seasons, but frost is pretty much unimaginable. Here's some advice for when to travel to Hong Kong based on the weather!.

Winters tend to be sunny and mild-temperatured. February gets cloudier, with some cold fronts that bring cool dry air from the North. February may feel chilly with average temperatures near 60°F / 15°C, but it is an anticipated month for shoppers, because there are the holiday sales (Chinese New Year usually falls towards the end of January or in February).

Springtime in Hong Kong is pleasant temperature-wise, although it can be unpredictable with mist, light rain and also possible humid days. It is a moderately popular time to visit, although riskier than autumn. Pack light clothes in general, but don't be surprised if you get rained on at some point.

Summertime is hot hot hot! and sticky, with rain, thunderstorms, and warm air currents from the Southwest. Spring is also when hurricane-like typhoons are most frequent, especially from July to September. May through September when HK gets 80% of its rain when HK sees 80% of its rainfall) are months particularly to be avoided due to the risk of these tropical storms - monsoons) which now and then result in flooding and landslides. With temperatures in the 80s / about 30°C but feeling much warmer with the humidity, you'll want to pack very light summer clothing. However, keep in mind that it will be kept very cold with air conditioning indoors, so always bring a pullover, no matter how warm it feels! A small umbrella is also a good idea since you can expect rain - it rains about four days per week, and on dry days it will cover you from the sun.

Autumn in Hong Kong (from September to December) is very nice with bright, sunny, dry days. It is not as humid as in the spring. November is probably the most enjoyable time of year to visit Hong Kong, with temperatures usually in the low to mid 70s (between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius) and low humidity. In fact, the most common times to vacation in Hong Kong extend from October until February.

Hong Kong is an amazing travel destination, whether you spend the whole time in the Central district, near the beach, or exploring the many parks. Whatever you intend to do, you'll definitely make the most of your trip if you know what temperatures and conditions to expect, carry a jumper, and remember to avoid monsoon-season!
