Weather in April
- Macau (Peninsula, Taipa, Cotai, Coloane) · The whole SARfine
Subtropical monsoon. Oct–Dec is dry, clear and 18–26 °C; Jan–Feb cool and grey (can drop to 8–10 °C with no indoor heating in older buildings). Mar–Apr brings fog and drizzle that can delay ferries. May–Sep is 28–33 °C with 80%+ humidity, heavy showers and the typhoon peak Jul–Sep.
- Pearl River Delta neighbours · Hong Kong, Zhuhai, Hengqin, Shenzhenfine
Same weather system: a typhoon that stops Macau ferries also stops the bridge buses and Hong Kong's harbour. Winter haze from the mainland is possible Dec–Feb.
