🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES Conditions: Expect tropical heat (+27°C to +30°C) with very high humidity. May is the peak of the rainy season; heavy downpours are likely, especially on May 14th. What to Wear: Breathable, quick-dry fabrics are your best friends. Crucial: Always carry a light cardigan or hoodie—Hong Kong’s air conditioning in malls and trains is legendary for being "arctic." Logistics Tip: Download the "MyObservatory" app. If a Red/Black Rainstorm or Typhoon Signal No. 8 is issued, most attractions and transport will stop. Always check the Peak and Ngong Ping webcam before heading out to avoid "white-out" views.

Lunch: Mak's Noodle (Various locations/TST) — Famous for their tiny bowls of wonton noodles with a snap-dry texture.
