The period that you are planning to visit Hong Kong will still be hot but would be gradually getting cooler. Towards the end of October onwards is when the weather is nice - not too hot or not too cold.

The rain/monsoon season is between May and August. So if you planning to come around the summer months be prepared to get hot and sticky

Better come at Xmas when it's cooler. Mid Sept is still very hot in HK but a lot less humid than the summer. Very smoggy at that time of year as well.

Yeah typhoon season. Hard to say when travel delays will occur as typhoons are unpredictable - like girls mood swings when having their periods. If there are typhoons, it does messes up travelling to and from HK, if its very serious. We usually get one or two typhoons every year...

I recall a typhoon on a weekend in August last year which was raised to typhoon warning 10 (meaning stay at home and lock the windows and doors and expect heavy winds and rains) during the middle of the night. Was in Macau at that particular time and couldn't get on the last boat back to Hong Kong, so had to spend the night in a sauna to past the time

First visit, people kept telling me how blown away I was by the humidity and heat, and that I'd have a hard time tolerating it. I did, but acclimatised after a few days and now I almost prefer it to the dry heat of home.

I'd imagine if you were overweight, the sweat and friction would go together with the heat and make it pretty bad for you though.

this is true, however bars in Wan Chai are typically FULL of girls which gives you tremendous choice. It also stops prices going crazy so a win/win. My October trips have always been great fun. From around October 20 on is good for Mongering. In terms of Bar action, April is the other great time from a Mongering point of view.

I find the best time is actually November, you get a good balance of warmth and cool, a light jacket is all you need

i came to HK in december the last time.
weather was perfect and it did not rain at all.
ticket prices were expensive though. from all the comments, i think i will pay extra money to go in dec.
the problem is that i want to go to tokyo also and tokyo can get cold in dec.

I think it depends on where you are coming from.

Coming from Western Europe I've always favoured October November as the most comfortable re heat and humidity.

For me that time of year is hot enough and dry enough to really enjoy it.

If you had to choose I'd say come during xmas as its cooler and you can join in on the festivities down at Lan Kwei Fong. September is usually too humid and kinda ruins the mood when your hot and sweaty and walking in between buildings.
