To meet the demand of the public and media, forecasts for four more cities in the Middle East were added to the "Weather Information of Other Cities" bulletin commencing today (20 May 2008). The cities include Ankara of Turkey, Jerusalem of Israel, Muscat of Omen and Tehran of Iran. The bulletin provides weather information including maximum and minimum air temperatures as well as weather forecasts for a total of 88 cities worldwide, covering Asia, America, Europe, Africa, Australia and the southern Pacific.

The "Weather Information of Other Cities" bulletins are issued to the mass media four times daily by the Hong Kong Observatory to facilitate their preparation of weather programmes and news columns. These bulletins are based on official forecasts issued by the national weather services of the cities.
