Like Hong Kong and the rest of the southeastern coast of China, Macau is in the subtropical monsoon region, where the heat and humidity ascend from dry and coolish winter when urban temperature drops to 10C or under, to the largely fine spring with occasional drizzles, to the hot and rainy summer, when afternoon downpour happens almost everyday and tropical typhoon occurs occasionally, leaving the cool and crisp autum the best season to pay this city a visit.
While packing for your Macau holiday, casual attire and comfortable walking shoes is the norm.
Taking into consideration the seasonal climatic changes, you'll find lightweight cotton T-shirts and shorts enough for summer, woolen clothes and warm coats useful for winter, and sweaters and jackets come in handy for cooler evenings during the alternation period of season, such as March, April, October and November.
As far as dress code in Macau is concerned, smart casual attire can usually get you into almost anywhere. However, shorts are not allowed in the casinos,
