The weather in May
What the season does to Tsim Sha Tsui this month.
Heads up
Typhoon Risk
Typhoons can reach Hong Kong from May to November, less often than in high summer. If the No. 8 signal goes up, ferries, theme parks and most sights close until it comes down: keep plans flexible and check the Hong Kong Observatory's app.
Heads up
Rainstorms and Summer Heat
From May to September Hong Kong is hot (31-34 °C) and humid, with sudden downpours. Under a black rainstorm warning stay indoors; shops and the MTR keep going, but streets flood. Plan outdoor sights for the morning and keep the air-conditioned museums and malls for the afternoon.

Heads up
May Day Holiday Crowds
Mainland China's May Day holiday, in the first days of May, brings a shorter rush of visitors: expect queues at the cable car, the Peak Tram and the theme parks, and book tickets ahead.

Entry rules
No visa needed for up to 14 days
- Before you fly, register online for the free Pre-arrival Registration (PAR) for Indian nationals on the Hong Kong Immigration Department website (immd.gov.hk). It must succeed before you travel; do it as soon as you book, so there is time to apply for a visa if it does not.
- Print the PAR notification slip on blank white A4 paper and sign it. Airlines ask for it at check-in and will not board you without it; show it again at Hong Kong immigration. One registration is valid for six months.
- You may stay up to 14 days a visit. For a longer stay, or if your registration fails, you need a visa from the Immigration Department before you travel.
Carry: Passport valid for at least 6 months from the day you arrive; Signed PAR notification slip, printed on A4 paper; Confirmed return or onward ticket within 14 days; Hotel bookings for the stay; Proof of funds (bank statement or cards), if the officer asks.
The registration is free: sites that charge for it are not the Immigration Department. It covers Hong Kong only: Macau and mainland China have their own entry rules, so check them before a side trip.
Checked 2026-10; confirm with the embassy before you fly.
