January weather in Hong Kong

[dsimiller]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what sort of weather to expect in Hong Kong in late January?

Hong Kong's climate is sub-tropical, tending towards temperate for nearly half the year. During November and December there are pleasant breezes, plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures. Many people regard these as the best months of the year. January and February are more cloudy, with occasional cold fronts followed by dry northerly winds. It is not uncommon for temperatures to drop below 10 C in urban areas. The lowest temperature recorded at the Observatory is 0 C, although sub-zero temperatures and frost occur at times on high ground and in the New Territories.

I was there last January; it was fairly muggy. It never got remotely chilly. Take a spare fleece in case it does but you're not that likely to need it. (Though you may want to wear it indoors as air conditioning can be fierce in places.)
