Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau

The Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau (SMG, Chinese: 地球物理氣象局; Portuguese: Direcção dos Serviços Meteorológicos e Geofísicos) is a department of the Macao Government. It provides weather forecasts and issues warnings on weather-related hazards. It also provides geophysical-related services to meet the needs of the public and the shipping, aviation, industrial and engineering sectors.

The Meteorologic and Geophysic Services was established in 1952 as a government agency after taking over the role from the Portuguese Navy. Meteorological data had been recorded in Macau since 1861 with online data back to 1901. It was renamed the Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau following the handover in 1999.

The SMG's headquarters and observatory is located at Rampa do Observatório on Taipa Grande.
