🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES The May Vibe: Expect a tropical embrace—temperatures range from 26°C to 30°C with humidity making it feel like 35°C. This is the start of the rainy season (60-90% chance of showers). Logistics Impact: The "Indoor-Outdoor" Paradox: MTR stations and malls are freezing due to aggressive AC. Always carry a light hoodie or shawl. Rain Check: Heavy rain can suspend ferries and the Peak Tram. If a "Red" or "Black" rainstorm warning is issued, stick to the MTR. Visibility: Clouds often hide the Big Buddha. Check the "Ngong Ping 360" webcam before heading out. Footwear: Wear waterproof shoes with good grip; HK’s tiled sidewalks become ice rinks when wet.
