Challenges of conventional weather forecasting and new approaches

In recent years, localized and sudden weather changes such as guerrilla downpours have been increasing, and accurate and quick response is required. However, conventional weather forecasting has the following issues, making it difficult to respond appropriately.

(1) Rain cloud radar cannot tell the true amount of rainfall

Rain cloud radar measures the "precipitation intensity" of rain clouds and cannot tell the "true amount of rainfall. Even if rain clouds are observed on radar, there may be cases where there is no rain at all on the ground.

(2) Lack of equipment necessary for precise rainfall forecasting

Lack of rain gauges that can measure true rainfall and provide sufficient observation data is the cause of errors in rainfall forecasts.

(3) Difficulty in forecasting guerrilla downpours and making evacuation decisions when warnings and advisories occur

Conventional weather forecasting has difficulty forecasting sudden rainfall events such as guerrilla downpours.

In addition, there are areas where only a heavy rainfall warning is issued, but in reality there is warning-level rainfall, making it difficult to determine the need for evacuation.

In response to these issues, the smartphone application "SPOT INFO NOTICE(R)" not only delivers real-time weather data as described above, but also provides detailed and highly accurate weather forecasts for guerrilla downpours, which have been difficult to predict until now, using patented technology that makes full use of "high-density observation networks" and "AI. We are currently making preparations for the release of a new version of our forecasting system, which will also have a new forecasting function. Please look forward to the new version of "SPOT INFO NOTICE(R)" with a new forecasting function.
