Cold, wet March keeps Hong Kong gloomy, as warm weather hits town

Wet days and cold nights kept Hong Kong gloomy in March – and the city’s meteorologists say there could be more on the way.

Temperatures were almost two degrees lower than average, the city’s equal coldest start to spring in more than a decade, with double the normal rainfall for the year.

Events such as Taste of Hong Kong had to contend with plunging temperatures and rain as dehumidifiers were switched on across the city to deal with above average humidity.
