The Hong Kong Observatory will be open to visitors on Saturday and Sunday.

 

Every March the observatory organises an open day to celebrate World Meteorological Day, which falls on March 23. This year's theme is "Polar Meteorology - Understanding Global Impacts". 

 

The programme includes a special exhibition on the observatory's work and a mock-up of the forecasting office where meteorologists will explain how weather forecasts are made. Visitors also get a chance to pose as a TV weather presenter.

 

The observatory is located at 134A Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. Admission is from 9.30am to 4.30pm. The exhibition closes at 5.15pm. It will be suspended if a rainstorm or thunderstorm warning is issued.
