HK observatory is by far the worst weather forecast I have ever seen. When weather is cloudy and about to rain, they're capable of forecasting sunny weather, and vice versa. Their typhoon signals is also very poor (ex: TO when the wind is so weak, or T3 while the wind is very strong). Sadly and clearly, they're not very competent.

Usless. always say cloudy with rain and sun. they have no idea what the weather is going to be

Every summer, Hong Kong is hit by typhoons. The situation is quite serious. The work of the Observatory is to report the weather. It has to inform the public about the exact location of the typhoon, the speed of movement and where it will land. This helps the public to take measures to prevent wind damage and minimize casualties. In this aspect, the Hong Kong Observatory has done a good job. It should be praised.

Always shows thunderstorm warning when it is only raining. And continuous unnecessary weather warnings

The Observatory was established in 1883 as the Hong Kong Observatory by Sir George Bowen, the 9th Governor of Hong Kong, with Dr William Doberck (1852-1941) as its first director. Early operations included meteorological and magnetic observations, a time service based on astronomical observations and a tropical cyclone warning service. The Observatory was renamed the Royal Observatory, Hong Kong (Chinese: 皇家香港天文台) after obtaining a Royal Charter in 1912.[1] The Observatory reverted to its original name[citation needed] in 1997 after the transfer of Hong Kong's sovereignty from the UK to China. The Hong Kong Observatory was built in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon in 1883. Observatory Road in Tsim Sha Tsui is so named based on this landmark. However, due to rapid urbanisation, it is now surrounded by skyscrapers. As a result of high greenhouse gas emissions, the reflection of sunlight from buildings and the surfaces of roads, as well as the reduced vegetation, it suffers from a heat island effect. This was demonstrated by the considerable increase in average temperatures recorded by the Observatory between 1980 and 2005. In 2002, the Observatory opened a resource centre on the 23rd Floor of the nearby Miramar Tower, where the public can buy Hong Kong Observatory publications and access other meteorological information.

Always provides up-to-date information. I check it all the time. The most reliable source of weather information for Hong Kong compared to some other websites.

I imagine that it must not be easy to predict weather for a tiny tiny city like HONG KONG , but HONG KONG OBSERVATORY has been very reliable over the past few decades ! It also has a very good app and user friendly homepage. I am very thankful ! Keep up the great work !

it provides weather data of Hong Kong and some other part of the world as well. the work is important. and the observatory has open days for public visit.

Very beautiful

Only 2 day open for public.

Dont give us red rain

am...its ok for me to use it

Fieosnec

T8 is too calm

Terrible accuracy, trash

Open day with some insides about their different instruments used for weather forecast.

Honk Kong Observatory Annual Open Day. Unique opportunity to visit and very educational for adults and children. Excellent family activity! Highlight is to take pictures with The Director of Hong Kong Observatory and get signed postcards!
