25) How do I find out the weather in Hong Kong?
WEATHER UNDERGROUND at the University of Michigan has weather
data on many international cities. To access:
telnet downwind.sprl.umich.edu 3000 (most PC's and UNIX computers), or
telnet downwind.sprl.umich.edu/port=3000 (VAX computers).
telnet 141.212.196.177 3000 also works, if your nameserver is not working.
The service is also running on another workstation:
telnet madlab.sprl.umich.edu 3000
(Which can also be reached via: telnet 141.212.196.79 3000)
However, for some unknown reasons, the data for Hong Kong is always empty
The gopher server at the National Cancer Center (Tokyo, JAPAN),
gan.ncc.go.jp, has gif files of latest satellite pictures from
Himawari Geostationary Meteorological Satellite. Hong Kong, Taiwan
and most part of mainland China are within the picture. The files are under
Other information/weather information
These files are updated at
0:40, 3:40, 6:40, 9:40, 12:40, 15:40, 18:40, 21:40 (JST)
JST is one hour ahead of Hong Kong Standard Time.
The convention of the file name is pi.yymmddhh.gif
where yymmddhh is year, month, day and hour.
The URL of the gopher server and the weather information directory is
gopher://gan.ncc.go.jp:70/11/INFO/weather
Note: This is a test service only. Things may change later.
