The Theme of the Calendar
The theme of the Hong Kong Observatory 2012 calendar echoes that of the World Meteorological Day "Powering our Future with Weather, Climate and Water". The motif of the calendar is summarized in the preface, the Director of the Hong Kong Observatory, Mr Shun Chi-ming, wrote, "I sincerely hope that while you appreciate the weather, climate and water through photographs in this calendar and the use of climatological information in planning activities, you would provide your valuable feedback on improving our services to meet the increasing demands of our energetic city."
