Rain does not have to ruin a Hong Kong trip. The city has extensive indoor spaces and excellent public transport, so you can often switch plans rather than cancel the day.

Museums

Keep one or two indoor museums as backup options.

Shopping centres

Large malls can provide food, toilets and air-conditioned shelter.

Transport

Use rail and covered walkways to reduce exposure between stops.

Shoes and clothing

Waterproof footwear or a compact umbrella can make a major difference.

Safety

Heavy rain can create slippery surfaces and localised flooding; follow official weather warnings.
