During October – December, temperatures are moderate, and it is when the skies are clear and the sun shines. Come January to February, it’s mostly cloudy and cold but dry. It is not advisable to go during March until May because the humidity is high, therefore fog and drizzles can make touring difficult. If you’re a backpacker and insist to go an adventure even on a rainy weather amidst sweltering heat and humidity, then it would be okay to go to Hong Kong from June to August. Be warned though that come September, typhoons will start to loom often.
