August is the hardest weather month, but hotel value, food, shopping and flexible indoor plans can still make it work.

August is the toughest weather month, but not a useless one. It is hot, humid, wet and more exposed to storm disruption, so it should be planned differently: food, shopping, galleries, hotel bars, MTR-friendly districts, ferries only when clear and flexible nights. If hotel prices are attractive, August can still make sense for travellers who are not chasing perfect outdoor conditions.
