Nagoya Local Meteorological Observatory

The Nagoya Local Meteorological Observatory is a weather station in Chikusa-ku that continuously measures temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, and wind patterns. The data collected here forms the basis for local forecasts and severe weather alerts across the region.

The station was established in the 1950s as part of Japan's nationwide network to modernize weather observation after World War II. This initiative aimed to improve forecast accuracy and public safety against natural disasters.

The facility contributes to regional education by offering programs where students and community members learn about weather patterns and climate science.

The station is centrally located in the city and easy to reach by public transportation. Visitors can check current weather conditions and forecasts on-site or access the data online.

The observatory functions as one of fifty specialized weather monitoring facilities across Japan, operating under the Tōkai Region Central Forecast Office.
