How people dress in Hong Kong
- May to September is hot and very humid, with highs of 28–30 °C and rain on 21–27 days a month, so breathable fabrics and an umbrella are essential.
- Typhoons can bring heavy rain and strong wind from summer into autumn, so a sturdy umbrella and waterproof shoes help.
- Malls, the MTR and restaurants are often strongly air-conditioned, so a light cardigan is useful even in summer.
- Winter lows drop to around 14 °C and many buildings have no heating, so a sweater or light jacket is needed from December to February.
- Many routes involve hills and stairs, so comfortable non-slip shoes help on wet pavements.
