Seasonal Climate Variations / When to Go

Although winter is the coldest season, it is actually relatively mild, with January seeing temperatures dip just below 20°C / 68°F. However, the gusty dry monsoon weather from the north of Hong Kong brings a definite chill to the sunny skies, with strong winds at times and nights can feel decidedly colder.

Spring in also a good time to pay a visit to Hong Kong, between March and May, when the climate is warm and temperatures average 28°C / 82°F by day, dropping only slightly during the balmy nights. March and April are especially pleasant months to explore the attractions of Hong Kong, while by May, the rising levels of humidity may be too sticky for some.
