OVERVIEW
4. Because of its subtropical location, Hong Kong is a year-round destination. However, summers are
generally hot and humid, while winters are cool and dry. Here’s a monthly break up of Hong
Kong’s climatic conditions so you can plan when to go:
March - April and October – November : These are the best times of the year to visit Hong
Kong. The spring time (March - April) sees cool evenings. The months of October and November
are agreeable too. Pleasant breezes, perfect amount of sunshine and moderate temperatures are
some things which make autumn an ideal time to visit the Island.
May - September: This is the typhoon season in Hong Kong and thus not a preferred time to
travel to the Island. June to August is when the city tends to get very hot, wet and humid. The
temperatures go beyond 31°C and the high humidity levels make it difficult for anyone to indulge
in any outdoor activities.
December - February: Hong Kong is the coldest between December and February. It remains dry
and cloudy during this time and the temperatures can drop below 10°C. Also, many shops remain
closed during the Chinese New Year (mid-January to February, dates change annually).
