HKO website adds real-time weather photos at Tai Mo Shan overlooking northeast
******************************************************************************
     Following the release of real-time weather photos at Tai Mo Shan looking towards the southwest in August last year, the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) adds weather photos overlooking the northeast to its website today (December 29). The weather photos further enhance regional weather information, enabling the public to better understand the latest weather conditions near Tai Mo Shan and the northeastern part of the New Territories.
 
     Having a wide view, the newly installed camera overlooks the areas around Tai Po, Tolo Harbour and Whitehead. Distant places like Pat Sin Leng, Plover Cove Reservoir and Port Island located 20 kilometres away are also visible (See Annex).

     The newly installed weather camera at Tai Mo Shan looking towards the northeast complements the southwest-facing one installed last year. Through these two weather cameras, the HKO can monitor the weather changes brought about by weather systems approaching from the north or the south.
 
     Members of the public can see the weather photos overlooking the northeast from Tai Mo Shan on the HKO's webpage "Regional Weather in Hong Kong". The new photos will soon be available in the mobile application "MyObservatory" as well.
