Members of the public are welcome to view the exhibits prepared under this year's theme of "Understanding Clouds". Visitors can watch the weather report on the spot hosted by the Observatory's scientific officers, participate in the game booths and they will also have the chance to take photographs with Director of the Observatory and Dr Tin, the Observatory Mascot.

Details of the open day are as follows:

As a large number of visitors is expected, one-way flow will be implemented. Visitors should enter via the front gate on Nathan Road and exit at the back gate on Observatory Road. According to past experience, the afternoon sessions are usually more crowded. Visitors are advised to come at the morning sessions.

Besides, a cold front is expected to cross the south China coast later tomorrow. There will be a few rain patches and the temperatures will fall significantly later tomorrow. Sunday will be rather cool with occasional rain. Please be aware and prepared for the changing weather conditions (e.g. bring umbrella and wear appropriate clothes).
