Weather for Hong Kong

Best time to visit:

In winter (October) and early spring (March), the climate can be mild and fresh but come May, the ever-present humidity skyrockets and summer is both hot and frequently wet. Typhoons hit during summer and early autumn and, even without them, ferocious rainstorms fall intermittently. For locals, a signal eight typhoon can mean a day off work. For visitors the tremulous weather is just another factor that makes Hong Kong such a diverse and unique destination.
