A free exhibit commemorating the Observatory's 125th anniversary will be held from July 23 to September 22 at the Museum of History.
The exhibit showcases the Observatory's evolution by displaying early weather charts and artefacts such as old instruments and typhoon signals.
The exhibits include a century-old weather map, weather records scribbled by imprisoned Observatory staff during World War II, the earliest literature on the climate of the South China Sea, a seismometer used in the 1950s, and the minutes of a meeting in the 1970s between the Observatory and the Peking Weather Centre on the establishment of a Hong Kong - Beijing meteorological communication line.
Observatory Director Lam Chiu-ying will give a talk on the Observatory's evolution on August 23 at the museum. For details, call 2724 9042.
