Hi all,

I have moved a few months ago to HK. Everyone here said I was going to experience the best weather months (okt.nov.dec.) but I have to say that the last weeks it has not been that good. Reminded me actually of Holland and England only bit higher temperatures. Oktober was better but the pollution was terrible, have not seen a blue sky in months.
So is this rainy and cloudy weather normal for this time of the year? Why do people call this the best months? Is this because of the mild temperature?

It really should be colder than it is, this time of the year.

... and less damp. We have been having April's weather in November.

Well i have been here for 3 months now and ive found the weather great to be honest!Im from the UK originally and ive got a grea tan to go back with!I went to the beach on sunday and it was really hot too!It does tend to rain every now and now!and you will have off days where its cloudy and the pollution is bad. But for me im not complaining as its freezing in england!I know it goes colder around chinese new year!But it should go warmer afterwards!

Met 74, I have to totally agree with you! This weather sucks, I walked from LKF to Citibank Plaza just now and was sweating upon my arrival I had been hanging on to a few months of sweat-less existance (been here since Feb) as everyone has said how great nov/dec are...

A few people have told me it is usually quite a bit colder in Nov, as in you need sweaters/coats the whole deal, but maybe we shall see next year...

Frankly, I find that there are at most 5 days in any year when I would even consider wearing a light sweater in the evening in Hong Kong. But you do see locals get fur coats out if the temperature gets below 15 degrees! (yes, PLUS 15 degrees!)

Finally today i saw blue sky with some clouds here and there!! For weeks just haze but today it was nice. We went to the Peak to look at the view, for the first time since we are here it was clear!

yes, it was nice. I judge my day by whether I can see the mountains as I walk down to take my girl to school. the last few weeks has been a bit depressing with them just being covered in grey misty haze. Today I could actually tell they were green. And they stayed like that for most of the day.

wow. maybe they had a powercut in Southern China and the factories shut down.
