The Theme of the Calendar

The calendar displays beautiful photos of weather and optical phenomena. Most of them were contributed by photography enthusiasts on the Community Weather Observing Scheme. The Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) hopes that the photos would encourage the general public to protect the environment, raise their awareness of climate change and its impact, and inspire them to embrace a greener lifestyle and contribute to disaster reduction.

Preface

A complimentary calendar card is attached with the calendar.
