« I'm not a fan of football, but during this trip, I found myself caught up in the atmosphere of "give us something to talk about" and "my legs are not enough!" We recorded record-low temperatures in Hong Kong: 10-11 degrees Celsius above zero. The locals say that it's been ten years since they've experienced such "chills." 🥶🌬️ »

« The weather at this time of year isn’t very comfortable for walks due to the wind, but the most uncomfortable temperature in the hotel room is that the air conditioning doesn't work properly, and there’s no heating. »

« Last night at 11:20 pm, the weather station on Tai Mo Shan recorded -1°C 😱🧊❄️.

I mean, I felt like I was in a snow globe ☃️☃️☃️. This is just an outrageous cold for our subtropics 🌏.

So, fellow tourists who showed up this week, let’s face it: Who can resist the winter chill ❄️☃️ and how does it even come to us? 😅🧐😄 »

« Right now, it’s cold in Hong Kong, around 50°F. Everyone is dressed in coats with scarves, which is unusual for this place. But after visiting Peter, this feels tropical. »

« Cold, frosty morning!
Yes, you heard it right, it's quite chilly in Hong Kong, and there are even little frozen puddles on the street and water in our pipes 😂 (and those pipes are all on the street).

In winter, it can get really cold in Hong Kong; for instance, last night it was +41°F with 80% humidity. At home, it feels like a guesthouse during this moment—like a Snow Queen's suite 🤣.

How do we save ourselves from the cold in the subtropics, without heating and heating blankets?
🏡 A round-the-clock working air purifier.
🏡 Two heaters providing essential heat.
🏡 A hot water bottle in bed.
🏡 Cozy home slippers.
🏡 We also put a heater in the bathroom.
🏡 A winter pajama under the down blanket.
🏡 In pockets, warming packs are a must (they're sold like this too 🤷‍♀️).
🏡 A face mask for warmth (not a medical one).
🏡 A plaid scarf to wrap up completely.
🏡 Snacks and hot drinks with ginger.

I bundled up in two sweaters, got myself some tea, and tackled my to-do list!
I hope it doesn't rain...
Wishing everyone a great day! Don’t freeze! »

« Hong Kong made quite an impression. The stunning atmosphere filled with vibrant energy from a bustling city. Double-decker trams, bright taxis, and, of course, a diverse crowd everywhere. Ah yes, it's winter here now. Around 50°F, and there’s a light drizzle. I actually enjoy this kind of winter; it’s refreshing, let me tell you! 😄😂 »

« A classic of the genre, a sight in Hong Kong.

A view from Victoria Peak during winter time 😄

In Hong Kong, ideal winter visibility is rare; there's always a light haze in the air, creating a unique enchantment in the city. The high humidity, rapid temperature changes, and weather cycles give this distinct effect 🌈.

In recent years, there's often a smog coming from mainland China... locals are even warning about it 😿. The "haze of awakening" sometimes brings a peculiar smell... sad, right? 😭

During this period, people tend to go out less often, wearing masks and actively discussing the situation on forums and groups 😅. Hongkongers are truly unique individuals 😍.

However, we don't detach ourselves from it 😁. The ocean breeze helps to manage all that murky air 😄. »

« The weather in Hong Kong today is amazing!!! After the hell we had here in July, it's just bliss right now! It feels like September with us... cool, sunny, and occasionally humid! 😊 »
@aliskaskaska
« Hello from Hong Kong! The weather is quite bearable now, the water is still warm, and it's still shorts and tank tops season, although locals are slowly starting to wear boots and sweaters. The rainy season is behind us, and sometimes there's a nice gentle breeze. Overall, the perfect time to visit Hong Kong is definitely November! By the way, it’s the only autumn month here. »

« The last two days have been really hot with high humidity. Near the sea it's bearable, but in the city, you can only move around by making quick dashes between the subway and stores. And I’ve already managed to get sunburned; the sun is really intense right now. »

« The weather in Hong Kong always changes swiftly. Just a moment ago, the sun was shining, but now the sky has darkened and the rain has started. But that's not a big deal; in 10 minutes, the sun will shine again. ☀️🌧️ »
@zhenya_thomson
« Summer is quietly approaching... During the day it's +86°F... Evenings are still bearable, but that’s about it until May. »
@zhenya_thomson
« If you ever plan to go to Hong Kong, never visit in March. The humidity is 100%. It's a whole month of a wet wall of clouds, living in it without seeing the sun. But even in such weather, the sea and mountains are wonderful. »
@martaelizarova
« What unpredictable and changeable weather it is in Hong Kong! In the morning, I was rushing to classes in the rain at +55°F, and by the evening, I was strolling in the park at +63°F. 🌧️🌞 »

« The summer heat envelops me, the skyscrapers reach for the sky, the sea roars behind me, and a gentle breeze brushes my face. Yet in just 30 minutes of taking in the view, my shoulders and nose have already turned pink. 🌞🏙️🌊 »
@natalyandnick
« Rainy and overcast Hong Kong might just be more to our liking than sunny and stuffy. In reality, it's not as comfortable in the heat as it is in Singapore. By the time you reach air-conditioned spaces, you’d be drenched. But the blue sky beautifully reflects in the skyscrapers! »

« Spring has arrived in Hong Kong... and it's brought the heat with it :))) 88.3°F and 70% humidity. »
