Hong Kong Weather in March

Mild days, damp skies

March feels comfortable for walking, with warm afternoons and cooler evenings. It's warmer than February, but cloud and humidity can make the air feel heavy. Rain comes in spells, so expect some damp sightseeing days rather than steady sunshine.

You can explore Central, ride the Star Ferry or walk the Dragon's Back when the skies are clear. Cloud can hide the views from Victoria Peak, so keep a flexible plan. Skip a long beach day if rain is forecast; the water and sky may feel grey.

Flower show and spring events

The Hong Kong Flower Show usually takes place in March at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay. It's a colourful stop if you're nearby, though the grounds can get busy during the event. The Hong Kong Arts Festival also often runs into March, with performances around the city; dates vary each year.

If you hate crowds, visit popular sights on weekdays and avoid event times around Victoria Park. March sits outside Hong Kong's busiest winter holiday period, so it's often less packed than the peak months from November to February. Prices can be easier than during major holiday periods, but they rise around big events.

Make room for showers

March brings more rain than February, though April is wetter still. Pack a compact umbrella for walks around Sheung Wan, where steep streets can get slippery after showers. On a rainy afternoon, take the MTR to Central and use the covered walkways to reach the IFC mall and ferry piers.

Travelling with kids? The tram ride through Causeway Bay is an easy way to see the city when walking feels sticky or wet. Afterward, try an egg tart at a local bakery.
