Historical background,
Macao SAR is

composed of three
geographical and natural
main districts,

including Macao
features of the city Peninsula, Taipa Island

and Coloane Island. In
terms of parishes,

Macao SAR is
comprised of seven
parishes: Santo

António, São Lázaro,
São Lourenço, Sé,

Nossa Senhora de
Fátima, Nossa Senhora
do Carmo (Taipa), São

Francisco Xavier
(Coloane).

The coldest months of the year are the months

of January and February since the cold air is
brought to Macao. The months from July to

September are the hottest months of the year.

Also, Macao has a humid subtropical climate,
therefore, the months from March to June are

the most humid months of the year, and the

precipitation ensured an adequate water

supply. The months from May to September
are the rainy period with typhoon (何偉傑，

2011), so Macao also called "a city blew by the

sea breeze" or "hometown of typhoon" (嚴忠

明，2006).
