However, there is one defect in this useful weather information webpage for visitors.
It does not show the visibility information of Hong Kong.
Although visitors can get Hong Kong’s visibility information in another page of Hong Kong Observatory, this actually brings inconvenience to visitors.
Visitors can enjoy the amazing Hong Kong skyline and nice Victoria Harbor view at the Victoria Peak and waterfront promenade easily when the visibility is high.
It is important for the visitors to know the latest visibility information.
