Kowloon Weather in April

April weather

Kowloon feels warm and damp in April. Days reach about 26°C, evenings stay mild, and humidity can make walking feel sticky. Rain comes in passing showers, with roughly 114 mm across 13 days, so a grey spell can interrupt outdoor plans.

It's still a good month for the Star Ferry, the Avenue of Stars and browsing Temple Street Night Market. Keep indoor stops like the Hong Kong Museum of Art handy for wet afternoons. Skip long exposed walks along the harbour when showers set in; the clouds can also hide the skyline.

Holidays and crowds

Ching Ming Festival falls in April or early May. Families visit graves, so expect extra traffic near cemeteries and busy public transport around the holiday. Easter also sometimes falls in April, bringing school breaks and more visitors.

If you hate crowds, avoid travelling over Easter or Ching Ming when they coincide. April can feel busier and pricier than the quieter summer months during holiday weeks, but it's usually less of a peak than November to February, Kowloon's best-known high season.

Making the most of it

For a practical rainy-day switch, take the MTR from Tsim Sha Tsui to Jordan and explore the covered shops and food streets around Nathan Road. If showers ease, head back to the waterfront for the ferry ride; you'll get a useful skyline view without committing to a long walk.

Travelling with kids? The Science Museum in Tsim Sha Tsui gives you an easy indoor break near the harbour. In the evening, try clay-pot rice in Temple Street's Jordan end; it's a warming meal when the air feels damp. April has less sun than the cooler months, so leave room in your day for a change of plans.
