Observatory launches "Weather Information for Fishermen" website(Beta Version)

31 December 2010

The Observatory continues to strive for better weather services for the fishermen. With effect from today (31 December 2010), fishermen can conveniently acquire relevant weather information for their operations from the "Weather Information for Fishermen" website.

The newly launched Weather Information for Fishermen website facilitates fishermen and members of the public to obtain the weather information for South China coastal waters, track and positions of tropical cyclone, latest weather photos, and other useful related links such as the websites of the Agricultural, Fisheries and Conservation Department and the Marine Department.

The website will assist fishermen to better understand the latest weather situation before operation at sea. Moreover, it also facilitates fishermen bodies to provide relevant weather information upon enquiries from individual fishermen. This development is expected to help enhance the safety and efficiency of fishing operations.
