Planning a Hong Kong adventure this autumn?

Thinking about October and November weather, you might expect it to be a bit cooler, but...

I actually traveled to Hong Kong in the second week of November before.

But even now, when I think about November in Hong Kong,

the first thing that comes to mind is,

"Wow, why was it so hot?!" Lol.

Even for Hong Kong, I naturally assumed it would be cool by November, but I was practically drenched in sweat exploring during the day.

I'll break down everything from the October and November Hong Kong weather to this year's Wine & Dine Festival,

and the essential Octopus Card and transportation tips for your Hong Kong journey.

01 October & November Hong Kong Weather

If you look up the weather for October and November in Hong Kong,

you'll find the temperatures are higher than you might expect.

Based on average years, November in Hong Kong sees an

average high of about 26℃, and a

low of about 20℃,

making it perfectly fine to wear short sleeves during the day.

Hong Kong Weather	October	November
High Temp	30℃	26℃
Low Temp	24℃	20℃
Humidity	66%	65%

When I visited Hong Kong back in November,

it was so incredibly hot and sweaty that I

vividly remember thinking, "Is this really November?!" Lol.

Especially since Hong Kong trips involve a lot of walking, and with the added humidity

(though October and November are technically dry season),

if you only pack 'autumn clothes,' you might find yourself much hotter than expected.

So, for your November Hong Kong trip attire,

instead of thick outerwear, it's more comfortable to pack

short-sleeved tops or thin long-sleeved shirts, and

a light jacket or cardigan to throw on for air-conditioned indoors and cooler evenings.

Of course, the weather can vary year by year,

but the Hong Kong I experienced in November was

significantly hotter than I anticipated... lol.

Don't forget to double-check the weather forecast

before you depart!

03 Get Your Hong Kong Octopus Card

in Advance

Hong Kong isn't a huge city, so

you'll find yourself using the **MTR (subway)**

a lot when traveling.

Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, Mong Kok, and more –

you can easily get to all of them by MTR.

Not just the subway, but also

buses, trams, and even ferries❕

You'll be taking public transport a lot, so

a transport card is absolutely essential.

That's why an **Octopus Card**

is a must-have if you're planning a trip to Hong Kong!

The Hong Kong Octopus Card costs

**HK$39** to purchase, and then you'll need to top it up.

You can use it not only on the **MTR but also on buses, trams,**

**ferries, and more.**

You can even use it at **(some) restaurants**

– mind-blowing! 😱

**When coming into the city from the airport,**

there's also the option of using the **AEL (Airport Express)**.

So if you're planning a Hong Kong trip,

make sure to look into your **Octopus Card, AEL tickets,** etc.

in advance!

💳 Get discounts on your Octopus Card and Airport Express tickets and prepare in advance.

Hong Kong was my first overseas trip, so it's a city

I always love revisiting and truly miss.

The first time I traveled there, I only went on a package tour,

so every time I go back, my **desire for a free-and-easy trip**

is super high... LOL 😂

That's why I always try to prepare things like my **transport card, Victoria Peak tour tickets,**

**and Hong Kong Disneyland tickets** way in advance. Haha!

Especially if you're traveling to Hong Kong this November,

there's also the **Wine & Dine Festival** where you can truly savor

Hong Kong's culinary delights, so I really want to make sure my schedule aligns to go!

Just because it's autumn,

don't automatically assume it'll be cool –

remember, this is humid Hong Kong!

Keep that in mind! Haha.

Have a wonderful trip to Hong Kong! 🇭🇰
