The Japan Meteorological Agency's high-resolution nowcast is a 250m-mesh short-term precipitation forecast that enables a more detailed understanding of locally heavy rainfall. With the short-term precipitation forecast, you can see the forecast of heavy rain with the precipitation forecast up to 15 hours ahead. "Heavy Rain Radar" is an application that combines these two types of information and allows you to check both detailed rain cloud conditions for the next 60 minutes in units of 10 minutes and precipitation forecasts for the next 15 hours in units of 1 hour.
■Usage image
When you launch "Raincloud Radar", high-resolution precipitation nowcasts centered on your current location are plotted on a map. You can zoom in and out smoothly, move places, and move in time, and you can check the movement of rain clouds in detail on the app. In addition, we have prepared a convenient function that makes it easier to see the movement of rain clouds on the map by using the display function of concentric circles and the function of changing the shade of rain cloud color.
You can also easily access the extensive weather information and disaster prevention information on "tenki.jp", and it can also be used as a weather forecast application.
■"Concentric circle" function
Rain cloud radar can draw concentric circles from the center of the map screen. You can check the distance to the rain cloud at a glance.
It can also be used as a guideline for movement speed.
■ "Darkness" function In
the case of very light or strong rain, the rain clouds drawn on the map make it difficult to see the map below.
In such a case, by switching the color of the rain cloud with the "light and shade" function, the map becomes easier to see.
