More about Best Time to Travel to Macau

Macau in Summer (May - September)

The summer and monsoon season coincide in Macau. The months between May and September are considered summer months when the mercury climbs to a steep 35 degrees Celcius. June is the hottest month of the year, making it unfavourable for outdoorsy tourists. However, this is the best off-season time to find great discounts, sightsee in the evenings, and hit the casinos by night.

Macau in Monsoon (July - September)

Macau’s monsoon season stretches between April and September, with heavy rains. With an average temperature of 30 degrees Celcius and a very high humidity of 95%, visitors can expect rain almost every day.

The typhoon season between July and September is the off-season that sees the least tourists – it is advisable to stay away from Macau during this season as the weather is unpredictable and there is not much to see outdoors. However, the off-season rates ensure great discounts on casinos, making it an ideal time for budget-conscious tourists who only want to visit the casinos and stay indoors. April and May are the wettest months.

Macau in Autumn (October - December)

The best, most popular time to visit Macau, the October-December tourist season offers a great balance of the outdoors and casinos alike, with temperatures ranging from 27 degrees Celcius to 13 degrees Celcius. With the thumping Macau International Music Festival in October, the iconic Macau Grand Prix held in November, the Latin Pride Parade March in December, and thrilling watersports in tow, one can’t go wrong! However, the prices are steep and hotels are usually sold out weeks in advance.

Macau in Winter (January - February)

With temperatures ranging between 20 degrees Celcius and 7 degrees Celcius, Macau’s winter months between December and February are chilly. Sudden drops in temperature may be anticipated, but are tolerable if tourists are armed with cozy winter wear. Christmas and New Year in Macau is are events that are not to be missed – the entire city comes alive and the casinos host great parties. This is the mid-tourist season.

Macau in Spring (March - April)

The second-best time to visit Macau, the spring months (March to April) bring a host of fun outdoor adventures and festivals. An ideal option for couples and families on a budget, Macau in spring has comfortable temperatures ranging between 27 degrees Celcius and 16 degrees Celcius. This is also when the famous Macau Arts Festival is held.

Macau in January

The chill winter weather with a high of 18 degrees Celcius and a low of 7 degrees Celcius makes January the coldest month of the year. There is not much rain, and the afternoons are pleasant. Don’t forget to pack winter essentials and a thick coat here. The New Year celebrations and the Macau Fringe Art Festival are great ways to soak in the local culture and party with loved ones.

Macau in February

February is warmer than January in Macau with an average temperature of 19 degrees Celcius, although sudden drops to 10 degrees Celcius may still occur. Revel in the celebration of the Chinese New Year, a week-long extravaganza with vibrant parades, great food, and live performances. This is a great time to understand the exotic culture of the locals.
