Do they actually *ever* get a decent breeze in Central?

fmd_good Central

Do they actually *ever* get a decent breeze in Central? I'm planning a trip next month, and the weather forecasts are... terrifying. Seriously, I'm picturing a giant hairdryer pointed at Hong Kong is… more

Depends on the time of year, honestly. July and August? Forget about it. It's a concrete oven. But even then, you'll find slightly better breezes in the evenings, especially near the harbourfront. Victoria Peak offers some relief, but it's a hike or a pricey taxi ride up. My strategy? Embrace the air conditioning. Seriously. Find those hidden little cafes with decent AC and plan your day around them. And yes, Kowloon often feels cooler, especially on the peninsula side, but Central's got more to offer in terms of sightseeing. Think strategically about your itinerary – maybe early morning exploration before the sun really bakes the place.

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
