Macau and Hong Kong record the hottest October ever

Macau experienced its hottest October on record with an average temperature of 26.6°C, influenced by global warming and a strong El Niño. The region's minimum monthly temperature also set a new record. Similarly, Hong Kong reported its warmest October since records began in 1884, with average maximum temperatures reaching 30.5°C. Both regions attribute these extreme temperatures to climate change and El Niño effects, which may last until early 2027. In contrast, Macau recorded its lowest average monthly temperature in July, alongside significant rainfall.
