🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY: The May Mood: Expect temperatures between +24°C and +30°C, but the 80%+ humidity makes it feel like a tropical +33°C. This is the start of the monsoon season—brief but intense downpours are common. Dress Code: Lightweight, moisture-wicking fabrics are your best friends. Always carry a compact umbrella and a light hoodie; while it's sweltering outside, the MTR and malls maintain "arctic" air conditioning levels. Pro Tip: Use the "HKO" (Hong Kong Observatory) app to track rain clouds in real-time. If the Peak is covered in mist, swap your outdoor walk for a museum visit immediately.
