Hong Kong works year-round, but the weather varies a lot, and one season stands out. The flight from the UAE is under eight hours.
Autumn (October to early December): the best time
Dry, sunny and pleasantly mild, autumn is widely considered the best time to visit, ideal for the harbour, the peak and outdoor markets. It is popular, so book earlier.
Winter (mid-December to February)
Cool and comfortable, occasionally grey, with festive lights around the holidays. A good, less crowded alternative to autumn.
Spring and summer
Spring (March to May) is warm and humid with more haze, while summer (June to September) is hot, very humid and the typhoon season, which can disrupt flights. If you travel then, keep an eye on the forecast.
