The Hong Kong Observatory is involved in different international meteorological affairs, from the certification of upper-altitude observation stations to aviation meteorological services, including the Asian Aviation Meteorological Centre, SIGMENT coordination and regional tropical cyclone briefings, to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAQ), wind shear monitoring LIDAR, My Flight Weather Electronic Flight Bag App, World Meteorological Organization Nowcasting Area Professional Meteorological Center, etc. At the same time, the Hong Kong Observatory has also developed its own nowcasting system "Little Vortex", which also participates in the global multi-hazard early warning system, and cooperates with the Airport Authority Hong Kong and China Light and Power Company Limited on "Big Data Analysis of Hong Kong International Airport Energy Management".

Since its establishment in 1883, the Hong Kong Observatory has been tasked with forecasting and defending against natural disasters. Recently, with global climate change, the Observatory has become more actively involved in international meteorological efforts.
The Observatory has developed and operates two websites for the WMO, namely the Severe Weather Information Centre and the World Weather Information Service.
It helps the public and relevant institutions to access this information quickly and effectively, allowing for timely action to mitigate disaster.

Regional Collaboration on Aviation Hazardous Weather
Whenever tropical cyclones, thunderstorms, turbulence, or other severe weather conditions arise, they often jeopardize the safety of nearby flights. The Hong Kong Observatory develop the Regional SIGMET Coordination Platform to facilitate communication among forecasters in neighbouring flight information regions, improving consensus and efficiency to ensure flight safety.

Windshear and Turbulence Alerting Service
Located on Lantau Island, Hong Kong International Airport is subject to windshear and turbulence due to nearby terrain under various weather conditions, affecting aviation safety. To address this issue, the Hong Kong Observatory has spent years developing monitoring instruments and warning systems, continually enhancing its forecasting capabilities for windshear and turbulence.

Centennial Observing Stations
The Hong Kong Observatory began upper-air meteorological observations in 1921. It has long used weather balloons for collecting high-quality upper-air climate data, boasting a long history of upper-air meteorological observations. In 2021, the Hong Kong Observatory's upper-air observing station received certification from the WMO as a Centennial Upper-Air Observing Station, making it the first upper-air observing station in the world.
