Monthly Forecast for August 2025


Hong Kong is expecting:
1.
 normal to above-normal temperature
2.
 normal to above-normal rainfall



Additional information:
  1. The southwest monsoon will prevail over the coast of southern China in the first week of August 2025. The subtropical ridge is expected to strengthen afterward and dominate southeastern China towards the middle part of the month, bringing generally fine and very hot weather to the region.

  2. The chance of tropical cyclone occurrence over the South China Sea is expected to be higher in the second half of August.

Assessment (as of 5 August 2025):
  1. In the past month or so, sea surface temperatures of the central and eastern equatorial Pacific were near normal on the whole. Based on the latest oceanic observations as well as forecasts by a number of climate models around the world, the sea surface temperatures of the central and eastern equatorial Pacific are expected to remain near normal for the rest of this summer and autumn this year.

  2. Taking into consideration of the impacts of global warming and latest ENSO status, different climate model forecasts, other objective forecast guidance and the influence of an active southwest monsoon to Hong Kong in the first week, the temperature of August 2025 in Hong Kong is expected to be normal to above-normal, and the chance of normal to above-normal rainfall in the month will be higher.
