🏊 Swimmable sea this month (≥22°C)
Hong Kong sits in an ocean-tempered climate in China, and the 2015–2024 weather record gives its sunshine a clear shape: the December peak reaches an 85/100 sun score, with daytime highs around 20°C — a solid base for a long-weekend city trip.
Across a typical year, afternoon temperatures swing between 19°C (January) and 30°C (July). On the rain ledger, December is the safest bet at a 10% chance of a wet day, while June climbs to 91%. If 24°C is your bar for proper warmth, count on April–November.
Season by season (on the northern calendar), spring brings 25°C highs with 56% rain-day odds, summer 29°C at 86%, autumn 27°C at 41%, and winter 19°C at 17%. That makes autumn the statistical sweet spot (season score 80), with winter a workable second; summer is where the odds thin out. If your dates are flexible, November buys you 24°C warmth at the quiet end of the season.
Best months to visit Hong Kong
The best month on record is December — an 85/100 sun score, built on 49% cloud cover and 10% rain-day odds — followed by November and October. Anything in January–December clears our 70-point reliability bar. At the other end, August scores just 71, the weakest month of the year.
