In order to fully implement the provisions of the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and to promote greater integration of Hong Kong and Macao in national meteorological development, the China Meteorological Administration in partnership with the Guangdong Meteorological Bureau, the Hong Kong Observatory and the Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau, prepared this Plan. In addition to jointly improving the level of weather forecasting, prevention and mitigation of natural disasters, the Plan also promotes the construction of a Greater Bay Area Meteorological Monitoring, Warning and Forecasting Centre, and drives the development of advanced meteorological services in the Greater Bay.
