Hong Kong Observatory

The Hong Kong Observatory is the official weather forecasting agency for Hong Kong. Recent news highlights its role in issuing weather warnings and providing meteorological information to the public. The Observatory has been actively issuing amber rainstorm warnings due to approaching thunderstorms and heavy rain, sometimes cancelling them shortly after. They also warned of hail and violent gusts. Beyond immediate weather events, the Observatory reported Hong Kong experienced its warmest winter on record and provided information about a recent 'blood moon' lunar eclipse, though cloud cover potentially obscured viewing. The Observatory's forecasts are crucial for public safety and planning, especially during periods of unsettled weather and significant weather events.
