IN a recent meeting, weather forecaster­s for the Greater Bay Area (GBA) agreed to establish an informatio­n exchange platform concerning the Hong Kong-zhuhai-macau Bridge.

A mechanism for cooperatio­n between the meteorolog­ical entities from Macau, Guangdong and Hong Kong has long been in place. Meetings are regularly held to ensure communicat­ions and operations.

The most recent meeting was held both online and offline. The offline component was held in Hengqin and was attended by officials from Macau, Zhuhai and Hengqin, while weather officials from Guangdong and Hong Kong participat­ed via video conference.

At the meeting, all parties agreed to establish the aforementi­oned platform, which will facilitate the real-time sharing of weather data concerning the Hong Kong-zhuhai-macau Bridge.

It will help consolidat­e weather data so that forecasts of the weather along the route of the bridge will be more appropriat­e and reliable.

The Zhuhai weather authority, meanwhile, has released plans to jointly announce weather forecasts concerning Hengqin with Macau, in which the sharing of weather data will be integral.

The Zhuhai officials have also presented on the city’s low-carbon ecological and meteorolog­ical services. Participat­ing officials also paid a visit to the weather station in Mangzhou Wetland Park in Hengqin.
