Hong Kong Weather

Although Hong Kong has a subtropical climate, temperatures fluctuate greatly over the year. Some of the best cityscapes are obstructed by heavy smog and fog in January and February, while occasional cold fronts and northerly winds can make for a cool winter season, with temperatures regularly dipping below 10 C. The humidity starts kicking in during March and April, and fog remains a particular problem for air traffic controllers and ferry services, sometimes leading to tour disruptions or reduced visibility. Heat and humidity rule during the late spring and summer months, inviting random showers and thunderstorms early in the morning. Tropical storms are most likely to brew in September, while refreshing breezes and bountiful rays of sunshine from October to December make these months some of the best to visit Hong Kong.
