Real-time wind information from the Star Ferry wind station is now available to the public through the Hong Kong Observatory's website and dial-a-weather service.

The wind station is situated at the vital marine traffic hub. The information the station provides can keep people informed of the latest weather conditions there.

The Observatory's Assistant Director Leung Wing-mo said apart from providing wind information at Star Ferry Pier, the observatory has also posted information on the station's exposure on the web for public reference.

"Since Hong Kong is a highly developed urban city with complex terrain, we plan to launch the exposure information of other wind stations on the observatory's website in phases. This should help the public to learn more about the geographical characteristics of the wind stations, so that they can make sensible interpretations of the wind information at those sites."
