Is November a good time to visit Hong Kong?

We would argue that Autumn is the best time to visit Hong Kong. It's just out of the rainy season, temperatures are pretty high, and humidity is at a low. If you're looking to spend a lot of time outside on your vacation, then November is one of the best months in Hong Kong!

Which month is typhoon season in Hong Kong?

Typhoon season falls in the wettest months in Hong Kong, which are between April and October. In fact, around 80% of the city's rainfall occurs between May and September, so as long as you're away during that period, you can expect a much drier time!

What is the coldest month in Hong Kong?

January is the coldest month in Hong Kong. However, with temperatures then hitting an average of 61°F, it's a far cry from the chilly and often snowy temperatures we experience in the West during the same month.

Hong Kong in November: Weather

So, if you're traveling to Hong Kong in November, what can you expect weather-wise? Well, unlike out West, November is one of the driest and sunniest periods in the city, with temperatures hitting average highs of 84 °F and lows of 54 °F, meaning it's the perfect month to plan some outdoor experiences! Don't worry; we've got you covered on those a little further down.

Even with some relatively hot days, UV levels aren't particularly high, meaning even paler people will have a good time without needing to dodge from shaded area to shaded area. Nice.

Rain-wise, there are an average of five rainy days in November, with around 1.5 inches of rain over that period. It's also the very last month you can potentially see typhoons, but the probability is so low that you'll likely only see one every five years or so. Fingers crossed you get "lucky"!

Humidity-wise, Hong Kong is also incredibly dry in November. This means exploring is much less sticky, but it also means you should prepare for dry skin when you pack. More on that right now!

Hong Kong in November: What to pack

We recommend packing a medley of outfits so that you're prepared no matter what. When temperatures hit their highs, you'll want some lighter clothing: t-shirts, shorts, summer dresses, and the like. And, when temperatures start to drop on the cooler days or evenings, pack some thicker coats, jumpers, and warm boots. Trousers will help, too!

To combat the drier weather, make sure you pack plenty of face and hand moisturizer, or you'll be a walking, talking flake.

November Events in Hong Kong: Wine and Dine Festival

Fans of grapes and the finer dishes in life ought to book a trip to the Hong Kong Wine and Dine Festival. Held from late October to early November at Central Harbourfront, it's a four-day extravaganza featuring global cuisine, fine wines, and entertainment.
