The Hong Kong Experience Severe Weather Information Centre (SWIC) – started 1999 World Weather Information Service (WWIS) – started 2000 RAII City Specific NWP Products to Developing Countries – started 2005
Severe Weather Information Centre (SWIC) http://severe.worldweather.wmo.int
A website to provide OFFICIAL weather warnings and observations issued by NMHSs Developed and maintained by HK Observatory Ideas originally developed by CBS OPAG/PWS expert teams in 1999 Began trial run in 2001, operational in 2005 Started with tropical cyclones in W N Pacific only,now also includes Heavy Rain/Snow and Thunderstorms and round
Severe Weather Information Centre (SWIC) Participating Members (20 NMHSs)
Severe Weather Information Centre (SWIC) Official thunderstorms observations
Severe Weather Information Centre (SWIC) Official heavy rain/snow observations
World Weather Information Service (WWIS) http://www.worldweather.org
A website to provide OFFICIAL weather forecasts and climatological information Developed and maintained by HK Observatory Ideas originally developed by CBS OPAG/PWS expert teams in 2000 Started only in English.

World Weather Information Service (WWIS)
What can SWIC and WWIS achieve ? Provide people around the world with OFFICIAL weather information through the internet to counteract the many spurious sources Help increase visibility and international status of NMHSs of developing countries (including LDC) earn support from their governments in maintaining their meteorological operations
RA II City Specific NWP Products to Developing Countries Pilot project launched based on decision of 13th Session of RAII in 2004 Participating Members with advanced NWP capabilities will generate NWP time series up to 7 days at selected cities for RAII Members of developing countries via Internet
To help improve public weather services of NMS in developing countries Hong Kong, China as the coordinator Currently five Participating Members : China Japan – providing NWP f/c for 160 cities Republic of Korea – providing NWP f/c for
cities Thailand
160
