Hong Kong Weather January

Hong Kong Weather January

If you are visiting Hong Kong in January you will find the weather to be generally very cool, but it is somewhat luck whether or not it will be clear and bright. On a sunny day it may go up to 21C, but during the middle of the night drop to 10C. There will be big differences between day and night and you’ll need a jacket in the evening.

Most years January has weather that is good for going out, it is a continuation of the good autumn weather, but in some years it gets cloudy and there is some rain; though rarely heavy.


Days of bright sunshine are common though sadly the sky is rarely solid blue these days, but that’s more about air pollution than the weather. You may get lucky though with a clear windy day when it blows the filth away!

Hong Kong weather in December

Hong Kong weather in December

Hong Kong in December it is very clearly winter -- and it is COLD. Temperature can drop to 10 C. Temperature range from 14C to 20C, humidity 72 percent. Occational chills make wollens and overcoats worth bringging. What to wear in hong kong December.

Hotels, restaurants and shops are heated fine though -- at least the medium to good ones. It'll be cold in hostels, cheapie hotels, and so on. Outdoor eating, like at the seafood restaurants in Sai Kung and Cheung Chau, will be fine in the day but may not be so comfortable in the evening.

It is Christmas in Hong Kong (December) though so everybody is out shopping and there is plenty of fake plastic snow in the shops, but you won't find any real snow!

Hong Kong shopping guide, Hong Kong Shopping Hours.

The weather actually alternates, at the rate of about one cycle per 5 days, between two types. There is the super-cold (10C) overcast days which gradually brighten until it changes to the other type which is a warm (18-20C) and very bright and sunny day. Still cold in the shade or at night, but in the day time in the sun it's actually short-sleeve weather for those of you from Europe or the US!

If you don't mind cold then actually its quite a nice time to be visiting Hong Kong. When you came to Hong Kong on this winter weather ( Mid December to February ) , Stay long enough to be here during some of the bright days and it's really good for photography as the sky is blue (a rarity in Hong Kong) and the air is dry (by our standards, about 60%) which makes for a better view.

Then pick preserved dates, candies or “designer” chocolate at Aji-Ichiban. Farther south, head out for a stunning drive by taxi or bus (Nos. 6, 6A, 6X and 260 from Central) to Stanley. A former fishing village and now a full-fledged shopping and tourist area with bric-a-brac stalls, fancy restaurants and a beach, Stanley is a nice half-day outing.

About HK$70 from Central. Other options in Horizon Plaza include Rimba Rhyme (furniture and home accessories, 5F) and Irony (furniture, beds and linen, 11F).
