The Hong Kong Observatory commenced today (6 June 2007) to provide an additional bulletin of Weather Information for South China Coastal Waters at 9:30 a.m., with the number of bulletins increasing from 6 to 7 times a day. This further enhances marine weather services and meets the evolving needs of fishermen.

The newly added bulletin will be broadcast in Cantonese on the 8812 kHz radio channel, Radio 5 of Radio Television Hong Kong (AM 783 kHz) and Commercial Radio 1 (FM 88.1-89.5 MHz) between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. daily. The weather bulletin will also be available on the Observatory's "1878200 Dial-a-Weather System" and website
