Visiting Hong Kong and Macau in mid-May is generally pleasant, but it is the beginning of the wet season. You can expect warm temperatures, typically ranging from 22°C to 28°C, with high humidity. Rainfall is more frequent compared to winter months, often as short, heavy showers or thunderstorms in the afternoons. It’s not peak tourist season, so it tends to be less crowded than summer or Chinese New Year periods, which can make traveling easier.
Travel considerations for mid-May:
- Pack lightweight, breathable clothing but also a light rain jacket or umbrella for sudden showers.
- Footwear should be comfortable and water-resistant due to occasional wet streets.
- Early morning sightseeing is usually drier and more comfortable before afternoon showers.
- Humidity may feel higher than temperatures indicate, so stay hydrated.
Accommodation options vary widely, and since you are traveling as a group of 6, consider larger Airbnb apartments or serviced apartments in central areas:
- Kowloon or Tsim Sha Tsui for easy access to ferry terminals and shopping areas.
- Central or Sheung Wan for proximity to the Star Ferry, restaurants, and quick access to the Peak.
- Macau: Taipa or Cotai for family-friendly options near casinos and ferry terminals.
Guesthouses and boutique hotels can also offer good value, especially in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Booking early is advisable as options suitable for groups can be limited.
Overall, mid-May is a good time to travel if you plan your activities around possible afternoon showers and choose accommodations with flexible access to indoor attractions.
