Hong Kong Weather in February
 
I'm planning a late February trip to Hong Kong. I realize that this isn't the ideal time weather-wise, but just what should I expect? Thanks.

I don't see why it's not ideal. I think it's pretty good:

Mean high is 18.6C/65F, mean low is 13.9C/57F. Very little rainfall.

Thanks, rkkwan. My Fodor's book on Hong Kong says January and February are "cool and dank, with long periods of overcast skies and rain." I like your data better.

I'll say it's not as good as November and December, when you get more clear days. If there's rain in February, it'll be of the light drizzle type. But cloud and rain chances do get higher late February and into March and April, where humidity can be 90%+ every day.

Hmm, I would not say long periods of rain, but we do get a good bit of fog, so that may be what Fodors is confusing with rain...late Feb can be quite damp and cool because of the fog. It's nice because it's not hot like the summer, but the fog can last for days. From end Feb through ALL of March this year we had no sun and fog and clouds for abouy 37 days.
