Macau is situated below the Tropic of Cancer. It enjoys a humid subtropical climate similar to neighboring Hong Kong and southern China.
00:59.3
Yes, it goes through a four-season cycle, but summer and winter are much longer.
01:05.8
Note that the May to October period is also the typhoon season.
01:13.3
As someone who spent most of my life in Macau, I'm not sure if I can say that Macau is the best place to visit.
01:16.0
As someone who spent most of my life in the tropics, I prefer traveling to Macau in the winter season.
01:20.4
These are the driest months, so rain showers are unlikely.
01:24.8
It can get really cold at times, but don't expect to see snowfall.
01:29.5
In general, you can get away with just a hoodie and jeans in December, or sweater and thicker jackets or coat in January and February.
01:38.4
But I never really had to wear thermal innerwear or gloves.
01:42.2
Here's some footage taken in January.
01:44.5
Here's some footage taken in January.

01:45.1
Here's some footage taken in January.
01:45.2
Coldest month in Macau.
01:47.2
Check out what people are wearing to give you an idea on what to pack for your trip.
02:45.2
My pal, you guys to Macau.
02:49.3
By the way, we recently visited Macau which was made possible by Philippine Airlines
02:54.5
which flies to Macau three times a week.
02:58.3
One thing I really appreciate is the generous baggage allowance
03:01.5
that's automatically included in each booking.
03:05.3
For Macau flights, check-in bags can weigh 25 kilos maximum for economy passengers.
03:11.5
Baggage allowance is a big deal when traveling in winter
03:14.3
because winter clothes tend to make your bags a lot heavier.
03:18.3
And 25 kilos should cover all your Macau OOTDs and shopping haul.
03:23.1
You also get a 7 kilogram carry-on baggage allowance on top of it.
03:27.4
Another reason we prefer PAL is its 4-star service
03:30.9
and delicious in-flight meals and unlimited drinks on board
03:34.2
which are already included in the booking.
03:37.9
Going back to Macau, here are some pics from our February Macau trip.
03:44.3
Summer is said to be the cheapest period to visit Macau,
04:02.8
something that budget travelers can take advantage of.
04:06.4
But we try to avoid it when possible because not only is it the hottest season,
04:10.7
it is also the wettest.
04:13.2
With both temperatures,
04:14.3
and rainfall peaking in June to August.
04:17.3
The mean temperature plays within the 27 to 28 degrees Celsius range
04:22.2
or 82 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
04:25.4
And on really hot days, up to 38.9 degrees Celsius
04:29.3
or 102 degrees Fahrenheit.
04:32.2
So nope, we haven't visited Macau in June, July, or August.
04:36.6
But we have been there in September which is still considered summer.
04:40.6
As you can see, we were wearing light shirt and shorts
04:43.8
because it was still pretty warm but not unbearable.
04:48.1
It was quite pleasant especially at night.
04:51.1
Here are some clips we shot in September.
04:53.7
Notice what people are wearing to give you an idea.
05:13.7
September is still pretty warm.
05:13.8
September is also within the typhoon season.
05:17.0
But it doesn't mean that you're guaranteed to be hot, bothered, and wet when you visit.
05:22.7
As you all know, weather is fickle and unpredictable, especially these days.
05:27.6
In fact, it didn't even rain during our visit.
05:30.8
Not even a drizzle.
05:34.0
It's always nice when the weather cooperates.
05:41.3
Autumn is widely regarded to be the best time to visit Macau.
05:43.7
This is when the air is getting cooler and it's much more comfortable to walk around in the streets.
05:50.5
If you dream of Macau because you want to witness the Macau Grand Prix,
05:54.5
know that it usually happens on the 2nd or 3rd week of November.
05:59.1
Established in 1954, the Macau Grand Prix is the only street circuit racing event in the world
06:05.5
that is open to both cars and motorcycles.
06:08.8
This is one of the biggest events of the year in Macau.
06:11.6
And the mood during the entire race will be different.
06:13.6
This weekend is very festive.
06:15.6
It's a great time to experience Macau.
06:18.4
However, because of the demand, know that the hotel prices tend to go up within this period.
06:24.4
If you don't like big crowds, then this might not be for you.
06:28.0
Also, try to avoid the days around the National Day, which drives more tourists crowding key attractions.
06:34.9
Here are some of the photos from one of our November trips in Macau.
06:38.9
Again, check out what they're wearing.
06:43.6
I was not wearing anything in this photo because it did shower very lightly at one point.
06:48.4
But it didn't last long.
06:56.4
When is the best time to visit Macau?
06:58.4
Most publications recommend October to December.
07:01.4
The Macanese autumn sees fine weather and comfortable temperatures.
07:06.4
But I don't know. I really prefer the winter months, December to February.
07:11.4
It can get a lot chillier.
07:12.4
But at least, I don't need to worry about the rain or typhoons.
07:15.4
Most of my favorite spots in Macau are outdoors.
07:19.4
The Senado Square, the ruins of St. Paul's, and its many relaxing gardens.
07:24.4
And the rain can put a damper on your plans.
07:27.4
Whatever month you choose, book your accommodations in advance.
07:32.4
Don't search for accommodations at the last minute.
07:35.4
Especially if visiting around the Macau Grand Prix dates and national holidays like Chinese New Year and National Day.
07:42.4
We made that mistake once.
07:44.4
And we had a tough time looking for cheap rooms because most are sold out.
07:49.4
And the ones that had vacancies were super expensive.
07:53.4
