Hong Kong and Bangkok
The verdict for July
Peak summer intensity
+Plenty happening indoors
–Very hot and humid
July is one of Hong Kong’s hottest months, with high humidity and frequent heavy rainfall. Tropical-cyclone risk is also a consideration during this part of the year.
Low season continues
+Quiet period with lower prices and fewer tourists.
–Frequent rain and high humidity can disrupt outdoor plans.
Easy access to everything, at low-season prices.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
Another month
