Launching of Regional Temperature Forecast in Hong Kong (Beta Version) on the Observatory's website
1 March 2008
Although Hong Kong is a small place, the temperature in urban areas and the New Territories can sometimes differ significantly. To enhance its weather services, the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) will launch its regional temperature forecast on a trial basis today (27 March 2008) to provide maximum/minimum temperature forecast in various parts of Hong Kong (sample at figure below) through the Observatory's website http://www.weather.gov.hk/wxinfo/frt/frt.htm.
During the trial period, the maximum temperature forecasts for the locations for the day will be issued daily at 5 a.m. while the maximum/minimum temperature forecasts for the next day will be issued at 5 p.m.
