What's the temperature in Hong Kong today?

On March 4, 2023, the temperature in Hong Kong was 19~24℃.

Hong Kong has a maritime subtropical monsoon climate with four distinct seasons and an average annual temperature of 23.3℃. The temperature may drop below 10℃ in winter and rise above 3 1℃ in summer. Rainfall is concentrated from May to September, accounting for about 80% of the annual rainfall. The annual rainfall is abundant, and the flowers are fragrant in all seasons. It is warm and foggy in spring, hot and rainy in summer, sunny in autumn and slightly dry and cold in winter.

In addition, the high-rise buildings in the urban area of Hong Kong are concentrated and densely populated, and the microclimate formed is easy to produce the heat island effect. In this way, there is an obvious temperature difference between urban and suburban areas, and the urban areas with high-rise buildings make it difficult to blow away suspended particles in the air.

geographical environment

The topography of Hong Kong is dominated by hills, and the highest point is Tai Mo Shan, which is 957 meters above sea level. Hong Kong has little flat land, and about 20% of the land belongs to lowlands, mainly concentrated in the northern New Territories, namely Yuen Long Plain and Fanling Lowland, which are alluvial plains naturally formed by rivers. Secondly, the reclaimed land located in the Kowloon Peninsula and the northern part of Hong Kong Island expanded from the original narrow flat land.

Although one Hong Kong resident is from Hong Kong Island, the largest island in Hong Kong is Lantau Island, which is more than twice the size of Hong Kong Island. Hong Kong is in a humid subtropical environment with abundant runoff and developed surface water system. But the water system is limited and there are no big rivers. Besides Shenzhen River, which is the boundary river between Hong Kong and Shenzhen, there are mainly Chengmen River, Wutong River, Lincun River, Yuen Long River and Jintian River.
