Macau Weather in January

Macau Spring Festival

January is the coolest month in Macau. The highest temperature for the month is about 17.7 °C (63.8 °F) and the lowest temperature is 12.2°C (54 °F), and you may feel cold in the city. Since it rains little this month, the days are normally dry. Sometimes the winds blow -- about four or five days during the month are windy. Since Macau lies in southern China, the winters are not as cold as most of the cities on the mainland. If you go outdoors, wear a coat and thick socks and, if necessary, a light scarf to stay warm. The days in January are relatively long, the longest of the year, so enjoy the warm sunshine.

Though January may be a little cold, it is a good time for visiting. However, late January generally meets with Chinese New Year, an ideal time to experience authentic Chinese culture, but also the busiest travel time. Train and flights tickets are hard to get, so either avoid this peak period or make your arrangements in advance.

January marks the high travel season, and a lot of tourists crowd the attractions. Hotel rooms may increase their prices sharply and may even be unavailable so plan ahead if you are traveling during January. See our Macau Tours.
