Weather in March

  • Hong Kong Island and Kowloon · Central, Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, the Peakfine

    Subtropical monsoon. Winter (Dec–Feb) is dry and 13–20 °C (55–68 °F); spring (Mar–Apr) is humid with fog that hides the Peak; summer (May–Sep) is 28–33 °C (82–91 °F) with heavy showers and typhoons; October–November are clear and dry — the best months.

  • New Territories, Lantau and the islands · Sai Kung, Tai Mo Shan, Lantau, Cheung Chau, Lammafine

    Same pattern, a few degrees cooler on the peaks in winter (frost on Tai Mo Shan some years). Ferries and the Ngong Ping cable car stop in strong wind and typhoon signals.

  • Macau and the Pearl River Delta (add-ons) · Macau, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Guangzhoufine

    Almost the same weather; Guangzhou is a little colder in winter and hotter in summer. Typhoons close the HZMB and cancel Macau ferries.

  • Hong Kong Island and Kowloon22 °C (72 °F) / 18 °C (64 °F), 10 rain days
