Hong Kong Climate Information
Hong Kong has a monsoon-influenced sub-tropical climate, being mild for nearly half the year, with mild, relatively dry winters and hot, humid, and wet summers. The annual rainfall ranges from less than 1,000 millimeters (51 inches) to more than 3,000 millimeters (118 inches), with an average of 2,383 millimeters (94 inches). About 80 percent of the annual precipitation falls between May and September. The wettest month is August, when rain occurs about four days out of seven and the average monthly rainfall is 445 millimeters (18 inches). The driest month is January, when the monthly average is only 25 millimeters (1 inch) and rain falls only about six days a month.
Hong Kong is a mountainous area, with temperatures significantly lower and rainfall significantly greater in the mountains compared with the low-lying city areas. Bear this in mind if you go mountain walking. At its coolest (mid-December to February), the temperature may fall to 10 °C (50 °F); at its warmest (late May to mid-September), it averages 28 °C (82 °F), but may reach 33 °C (91 °F). From May to September there are occasional typhoons and thunderstorms. When typhoons approach, warnings are broadcast on TV and radio. Hong Kong is an all-year-round destination. The most popular time to visit is from the middle of September to the end of February, when the weather is cooler. See our Hong Kong Tour Packages and choose your time of travel.
Spring
Spring is from March to May, when the weather is very pleasant, but with occasional spells of high humidity. Fog and rainfall can be particularly troublesome. In spring, the weather is very changeable with wonderfully warm days of sunny weather accompanied by downfalls and rainstorms. Spring is the cloudiest time of the year, with an average of only about 100 hours of sunshine in each month.
Summer
Summer is from May to September. It is very hot and humid with a constant threat of showers, thunderstorms and typhoons. Umbrella, summer clothes and sun protection should be prepared. It is very common for the temperature to exceed 31 °C (87 °F).
Autumn
Autumn is from October to early December. Along with winter, it is the best time to visit Hong Kong, with very pleasant clear and sunny days, and few (4–8) rainy days. It is very comfortable for outdoor activities or strolls. Summer clothes will still do, but it is advised to bring jackets or sweaters for evenings and early mornings, especially towards the end of the season.
Winter
Winter is from mid-December to February. Along with autumn, this is the best time for being outdoors in Hong Kong, with the bustling holiday season and pleasant mild winter weather. Sweaters are needed for most days and occasional chills make coats necessary. It doesn’t snow in Hong Kong and frost is very rare. Read our guide on where to travel in winter.
