Weathering Hong Kong
Winter – Light sweater for day, lightweight coat for night.
Spring – hits the 70’s w/high humidity, pack a sweater for the chilly malls. Stay warm so you can keep shopping.
Summer – hot, humid & monsoon weather, the umbrella is a necessity.
Fall – clear sunny skies & less humidity, pack stilettos & a sexy black dress.
