Is there a charge for the weather forecast issued by the Meteorological Bureau?

The weather forecast released to the public by the Meteorological Bureau through TV, radio, mobile phone application software and other channels is free. Only some forecast services for specific commercial purposes are charged.

However, in the past, there was a charge for subscribing to the weather forecast short message service through the communication service provider. In recent years, with the popularity of smart phones and related application software (such as weather forecasting application software of mobile phone clients such as Ink Weather and China Weather Link), this charging service has gradually withdrawn from the historical stage.
