According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the operation of the "New Disaster Prevention Weather Information" will begin on Friday, May 29, 2026. The new disaster prevention weather information will organize four types of disasters—river flooding, heavy rain, landslides, and storm surges—into five levels of alert (1 to 5) and standardize the names to clarify the criteria for evacuation decisions. Regarding the timing of the switch, the Japan Meteorological Agency will carry out the transition work starting at 1 PM on Thursday, May 28, the day before the operation begins. If any issues arise, they will revert to the previous specifications and conduct the transition work at a later date. The services provided by Sysmet Co., Ltd. will also respond to the new disaster prevention weather information, but depending on the progress of the Japan Meteorological Agency's system transition, there may be a possibility of delays in updating our services. This article will explain how the new disaster prevention weather information will change. 1. Current issues with disaster prevention weather information 2.

Thank you for always watching. The last weather-related information for 2024 will introduce a theme unique to winter. As December has arrived, the temperature has dropped significantly. During this time, the term "cold air aloft" is often heard in weather forecasts. The phenomena of cold air aloft and clouds observed by the Himawari weather satellite can be viewed as images on the Japan Meteorological Agency's website. In fact, those images contain indicators that suggest the strength of the cold air aloft, in addition to the movement and shape of the clouds. This is referred to as "offshore distance." This time, I would like to introduce this "offshore distance." It may sound like a difficult term that is not very familiar, but it can actually be easily checked. Table of Contents 1. What is offshore distance? 2. Offshore distance and the strength of cold air aloft 3. Conclusion *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.

In the construction industry, "bad weather" such as heavy rain and typhoons is one of the threats that jeopardizes the safety of workers and the work plan at the site. According to the Labor Safety and Health Act, (Prohibition of Work During Bad Weather) Article 522 When a business operator conducts work at a height of 2 meters or more, if there is a forecast of danger due to bad weather such as strong winds, heavy rain, or heavy snow, they must not engage workers in that work. However, even though "bad weather" can be described in one word, perceptions of it vary from person to person. Therefore, site supervisors need to establish specific numerical values or indicators to define what constitutes "bad weather" and set criteria for halting work, ensuring that all parties involved have the same understanding. So, how should these criteria be established? Table of Contents 1. What is the specific definition of "bad weather"? 2. Examples of work affected by rain and strong winds 3. Considerations for setting work stoppage criteria 4. Let's understand the weather information at the work site! *For more details, please visit our website or feel free to contact us.
