Between May and September Hong Kong is incredibly hot, humid and prone to thunderstorms. It’s also when a typhoon is most likely to hit. Therefore, for the most comfortable weather visit in Spring or Autumn. January and February are cooler and cloudier than these seasons, but it isn’t too cold – temperatures never really dip below 10°C.There are a number of festivals throughout the year, but the biggest is Chinese New Year in late January or early February. Expect to see mesmerising firework displays, parades and dragon dances.
