Repulse Bay Beach in Summer

Subtropical Hong Kong has four distinguishable seasons - warm and humid spring, hot and rainy summer, pleasant and sunny autumn, cool and dry winter. On the whole, the weather means that the city is a year round destination.

However, due to the tropical cyclones of varying strengths and occasional squally thunderstorms between May and November and the typhoons in September, the ideal travel season is late autumn, from October to around Christmas time. Should you happen to visit Hong Kong in the typhoon season, you should not venture out too far when the typhoon warning is level 3 or less, but stay indoors when it is higher. All shops and banks are closed when a level 8 typhoon warning is given.
