The Umbrella Season in Hong Kong

  Hong Kong had entered the umbrella season, which will last all the way till April and early May - I won’t recommand visiting the city until at least June since what you’d see is pretty much like the picture above. 

Most people don’t drive in Hong Kong, so umbrellas are much needed.  It’s a good idea to keep a retractable umbrella with you, because prices go up significantly if you buy them when it’s actually raining!   (Do bear in mind that large shopping centers offer umbrella rental services) 

  I came up with a great way to avoid taking muggy pictures, which is to switch on my black and white mode.  :p

HongKongers are used to watching weather forecasts featuring cartoon characters - below is a forecast aired on 24 March about a thunder storm coming up, quite cute, take a look!
