27 September 2016

The Observatory launches a mobile version of the Location-specific Lightning Alert Webpage (LLAW) (beta version) today (27 September 2016). It facilitates the public to conveniently access information on lightning activities in Hong Kong and its vicinity via mobile phones or mobile devices. The mobile version of the LLAW is tailor-made for users of mobile phones and mobile devices. It enables users to easily specify the location of interest and an alert region around the location. When lightning is detected within the alert region, an attentive alert will be given to prompt users to take precautions.

Members of the public are welcome to browse the webpage at:
