Hong Kong's climate is subtropical and, for nearly half the year, tends toward temperate.
The region is cloudy in January and February, meeting with the occasional cold fronts.
In March and April, it is pleasant, with occasional high humidity.
From May to August, the region is hot and humid, occasionally confronted with showers and thunderstorms.
During November and December, there are pleasant breezes, with plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures.

Hong Kong is most likely to be affected by tropical cyclones from July to September, although they are not unusual any time between May and November. An average of about 31 tropical cyclones form in the western North Pacific or China Seas yearly, half of them reaching typhoon strength. Winds increase and rain becomes heavy and widespread when the centre of a cyclone comes close to the city; the heavy rain may last for a few days, the subsequent landslips and flooding may cause more damage than the winds.

The average temperature in the coldest month, January, is 16.1 °C while the average temperature in the hottest month, July, is 28.7 °C.

The territory is situated just south of the Tropic of Cancer, a similar latitude to that of Hawaii. In winter, strong and cold winds generate from the north cool the city; in the summer, the wind's prevailing direction changes and brings the warm and humid air in from the southwest. This climate can support a tropical rainforest.

When to go
October to December and April to March are the best months to visit and since this is a shoulder season, you will find less tourists and lower prices than in peak summer season (June to August).
