Adding to Ta Kwu Ling, real-time readings from Tai Mo Shan automatic weather station and King's Park Meteorological Station are available online between 5pm and 8am from today.

Readings are recorded at the ground surface just above short grass. The observatory has disseminated real-time grass temperature information from Ta Kwu Ling automatic weather station since December 2006.
