Hong Kong weather

Hong Kong’s weather is pleasant most of the time and doesn’t experience extremes, as its sub-tropical. It does get quite humid in summer and cool in winter, so pack accordingly for those swings.

•What to expect from Hong Kong’s seasons and what to pack   

•SUMMER (JUNE TO AUGUST)

•Hot, humid and sunny, with occasional showers and thunderstorms.  The temperature can exceed 31°C but high humidity levels can make it feel even hotter.

•What to pack: Wear light and breathable clothing, but also prepare a jacket as air-conditioning may be strong in indoor areas such as shopping malls and on public transport.  Remember to bring an umbrella or light rain gear, as there may be monsoons in the summer.  Mosquito repellent and sunglasses are also recommended for extended outdoor activities. Bring swimming gear! Summer is the perfect time to enjoy Hong Kong’s beaches and water sports.

•There’s generally no need to worry about dress codes unless you are planning to visit up-market restaurants and bars in the city, which normally do not admit flip-flops and shorts.  We advise you to check ahead for dress codes required by the establishments you are planning to visit.
