Macau in August

The month with the most rainy days. Midday is hot and sticky, and when a typhoon passes the wind and rain can make an umbrella useless. Leave slack in the schedule and line up indoor options such as casino resorts and museums.

August brought serious heat to Macau, 32°C on a typical afternoon and 26°C overnight. Early mornings were the best time to be outside. Rain fell on 15 days of the month on average. Year to year it swung widely, from 5 rain days in 2011 to 23 in 2018.

27 days past 30°C made it a month for early starts and a long lunch indoors. Each rainy day brought about 21 mm, closer to downpours than drizzle.
