Is June a good time to visit Hong Kong?

If you're looking for high heat, sticky humidity, and the chance of heavy showers to cool off, then June is a great time to visit Hong Kong! Just be prepared for it, which we cover in our weather section down below.

What is the cheapest month to go to Hong Kong?

October is the cheapest month to visit Hong Kong, so if you're traveling in June, you're all out of luck. However, the next cheapest time is between May and June, so yay! Why, you ask? Well, it's mainly because most of Hong Kong's biggest festivals don't fall within that period. However, that doesn't mean you won't find a ton of fun things to do on your summer vacation.

Is Hong Kong an expensive country?

To live, yes, Hong Kong is one of the most expensive cities to live in on Earth. However, for fellow travelers, with the right timing and research, you can make your Hong Kong vacation more than affordable. Shop around for deals on accommodation, pick where you eat, and go with us to get into all of the city's best bits for one low price!

Hong Kong in June: Weather

Hong Kong in June ushers in the summer season with warm and humid conditions. Average temperatures typically hit highs of 88°F and lows of 79°F, and you can expect those numbers to rise in the years to come. After all, our planet is on fire, and the temperature's rising. Happy Earth Day! This heat is also met with high humidity, due to the tropical nature of the area's summertime. It often hits 80% or higher, creating a muggy atmosphere that'll make you sweat buckets. As such, unless you're hardened to high humidity, carry and drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and dress in clothes you don't mind patching!

UV levels are much higher in June, so make sure you pack accordingly or avoid direct sun at peak times between 12PM and 5PM.

June also rings in the wettest month of the year. With around 15 inches of rain falling throughout June, pack something that'll keep you dry - more on that later.

Speaking of rain, June is also in the middle of Hong Kong's typhoon season. Thankfully, they're still pretty rare, and modern Hong Kong is well-equipped to deal with them, so they're not much of a threat. However, they may ruin your plans, so have some indoor backup in case one hits.

Hong Kong in June: What to pack

With sky-high temperatures, muggy air, and a large chance of rain, it pays to diversify! As such, pack summer clothes: t-shirts, skirts, summer dresses, shorts, and sandals, as well as a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock to miss the worst of the sun's UV deluge. Rain-wise, the lightest waterproof you can muster will suffice, or a decent umbrella in case the wind picks up.

You can bring all of this with you, of course, or buy it locally and support Hong Kong businesses. Double win!

June Events in Hong Kong: The Dragon Boat Festival
