All climate diagrams on this site are taken from the collected data from the official weather station of Macao at an altitude of 114m above sea level. All data correspond to the average monthly values of the last 20 years.
The climate in Macao is very warm, with an annual average of 26 degrees, but has few truly tropical and sticky months. For 8 months, the average temperatures are over 25 degrees. Pleasant water temperatures of up to 27 degrees even invite you to bathe in the warm season. Due to less rain, the best time for traveling is from October to February. The most rain days occur from from May to September.
Long-term development of temperatures from 1992 - 2022
In contrast to single record values, long-term development cannot simply be brought about by all weather stations in the country. Both the number and the locations are constantly changing. An average value would give a distorted result. If several measuring stations in particularly cold mountain or coastal regions are added in one year, the average would decrease as a result of this alone. If a station fails during the summer or winter months, it does not provide any values and distorts the average again. The subsequent long-term development was therefore reduced to only 1 measuring points in order to have comparable data over as long a period as possible.
In the years 1992 to 2022, 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 July 1993 at 30.1 °C. January 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 23.2 °C in the last years before 2022. So over the past 31 years, it has only increased by a minimal 0.3 °C. This trend only applies to the selected 1 weather stations in Macao. A considerably more comprehensive evaluation of global warming has been provided separately.
