The climate in Macao
Average daytime and nighttime temperaturesAll climatic diagrams of this page are taken from the collected data from 2 measuring stations in Macao.
All data correspond to the average monthly values of the last 20 years.
Back to overview: Macao
Climate zone: tropics
With a yearly average of 26 °C the climate in Macao ist warm, but has only a few really tropical and sticky months. In 8 months the average temperatures are over 25 degrees. Pleasant water temperatures of up to 27 degrees even invite you to take a bath in the warm season. Dued to the lesser rain the best time for traveling is from October to February. The most rain days occur from from May to September.
› Duration of daylight and sunshine in Macao
In the years 1992 to 2019 there were only these 1 weather stations in the whole country, which reported continuous temperature values (Taipa). From these weather reports we have created a long-term development that shows the monthly average temperatures. The hottest month in this entire period was 1993 with 30.1 °C. 2011 was the coldest month with an average temperature of 11.5 °C.
The average annual temperature was about 22.8 °C in the years after 1992 and about 23.1 °C in the last years before 2019. So over the past 28 years it has only increased by a minimal 0.2 °C. This trend only applies to the selected 1 weather stations in Macao. A considerably more comprehensive evaluation of the global warming has been provided separately.
More detailed information on global warming with a view by continent can also be found on our topic page on climate change. Data basis: German Weather Service, individual values averaged and supplemented by own elements.

Long-term development of temperatures from 1992 - 2019
In contrast to single record values, a long-term development cannot simply be brought about by all weather stations in the country. Both the number and the locations are constantly changing. A simply calculated average value would give a falsified result. If several measuring stations in particularly cold mountain or coastal regions are added in one year, the average would already decrease as a result of this alone. If a station fails during the summer or winter months, it does not provide any values and falsifies the average again. The subsequent long-term development was therefore reduced to only 1 measuring points in order to have actually comparable data over as long a period as possible.In the years 1992 to 2019 there were only these 1 weather stations in the whole country, which reported continuous temperature values (Taipa).
