Hong Kong in April

Ching Ming falls on April 4 or 5 and is a public holiday. Traffic gets busy around it with people visiting graves. Wet days begin to increase and the humidity makes you sweat easily.

Afternoons reached 26°C and nights settled at 21°C, warm enough to linger over lunch outdoors. Daily swings were small, about 5°C, with no sudden drop at dusk. Showers came now and then, about 8 rain days in all, and most of the month stayed dry. Averages hide a lot here: one year saw 2, another 17.

About 2 days a month still climbed past 30°C, the ones where you looked for shade. The warmest year was 2024, with highs averaging 28.3°C, 2.4°C above normal. Rain days averaged 21 mm each, so when it rained it rained properly.
