The MyObservatory is one of the most popular
weather app providing location-specific weather service in Hong
Kong. If permission is granted to determine user’s location
temperature relative humidity rainfall wind direction and speed as
well as weather photograph collected from nearby weather stations
will be displayed. My Location Settings is introduced since version
4.0.0. In the My Location Settings users can opt for using the
automatic location service provided by the smartphone or
designating My Location on the map themselves. This location will
be displayed on the main page and in My Weather Report. The
meteorological data displayed on the same page is provided by
meteorological stations nearby and is not necessarily from a
station in the same region. In case meteorological data is not
available from nearby stations data from other meteorological
stations at headquarter of the Observatory King’s Park and Star
Ferry will be used instead. Meanwhile Hong Kong Observatory will be
used as My Location.
