MyObservatory (我的天文台)

Tue, 30 Nov 2010 04:30:33 +0000

The MyObservatory mobile app was developed by the Observatory to enable members of the public access to the latest weather information anytime and anywhere. The app provides personalized weather services, thereby allowing users to obtain the latest weather information specific to their locations. The app also comes along with a suit of services from the Observatory such as 7-day forecast, forecast track for tropical cyclones, world major city forecasts, imageries for radar, satellite, lightning locations, etc. By activating weather warning notification service, alert messages would be delivered to user’s smartphone automatically whenever there is any change in weather warning signals. The "Location-based Rain Forecast" service was recently introduced, through which users could easily get hold of the rainfall forecast in the coming two hours specific to their actual or selected location.

Please note that:

1. Although “MyObservatory” is a free application, user will be charged by their mobile network service provider on the user of data service. These charges can become very expensive on roaming. Please ensure that the option of “Data Roaming” have been disabled in the Settings of your Android.

2. The estimated location provided by the mobile device may be deviated from your actual location. Meanwhile, owing to the dissimilarity in altitude and topography between your location and the reporting weather station, weather information displayed may be different from the actual conditions.

3. Use of location-based rain forecast notification will increase the battery usage and data download.

Should you have any queries, please email us at hkowm@hko.gov.hk
