We visited Hong Kong at the hottest time of year, the temperature was over 30° during the day day and even hotter if the sun shone which, actually, was not very often. Humidity was high, over 85° so the smallest exertion caused sweaty discomfort. This meant that we didn’t get out and about as much as we should have done and the only time we were comfortable outside was when we were lounging by the pool and able to have a regular cooling dip. Hotels and restaurants were fully air conditioned and, as soon as you left a building, you felt a terrific rush of heat that very soon had you puffing and panting.
