The Hong Kong Observatory gave two identical seminars titled 'Weather and Outdoor Activities' to the instructors of the Hong Kong Award for Young People (HKAYP). The seminars aimed to introduce to the instructors basic meteorological knowledge, types of weather that may affect outdoor activities and how to use meteorological information provided by the Observatory. Around 130 instructors attended the seminars.

Senior Operations and Training Officer of the HKAYP, Ms Amy Poon, said that the seminars better equipped their instructors for organizing outdoor activities for the young members, and hoped that the Observatory could continue to offer such seminars in future.
