Hong Kong

Hong Kong Weather

Hong Kong's summer months, between June and September, can be very hot and humid with temperatures reaching 34 °C. The autumn months are traditionally the most popular times to take a holiday in Hong Kong with mild, sunny, dry weather. The winter months of January and February are generally colder and sometimes rainy - though temperatures rarely get below 9°C.

Events in Hong Kong

The biggest event in the Hong Kong calendar is the Chinese New Year which is marked with parades and firework displays. Travellers should be aware though, that many shops and small businesses will close over New Year and you need to book your hotel in advance. There are a series of events during February and March in Hong Kong including the Hong Kong Arts Festival, a month long cultural celebration comprised of a busy schedule of international performances.

Value for Money

Given that the winter temperatures are generally quite mild in Hong Kong, dealhunters might opt for a January or February trip which is generally regarded as off season. However, be sure to check what date Chinese New Year falls as prices will rise and availability will fall during the celebrations.
