      Even on Table mountain in Cape Town, in the peak of summer, there has been many casual hikers that ended up in serious trouble because of the weather. And Cape Town is a winter (May- Sept) rainfall area. The mist that covers the terrain in enough to drench you. A slight breeze on wet clothes (without a jacket) hypothermia sets in quickly.

      @@zakaryloreto6526 , not sure if you have visited Hong Kong? I have been to Hong Kong on 3 occasions , all during their winter period. It does rain on certain days & gets a bit chilly too, and that is in the Kowloon city area. I would guess from my hiking experience, the mountainous / hilly area in Hong Kong will also have these colder environment than the built-up areas of a city scape.

    The most important thing is don't overestimate your strength and endurance..... Also I strongly recommend those being rescued need to pay for a significant portion of the cost spent on searching them unless the rescue crew waive it. This will promote "responsible hiking" practice
