Kumagaya Local Meteorological Observatory

The Kumagaya Local Meteorological Observatory operates advanced instruments to measure temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, and atmospheric conditions throughout the year.

The observatory began its operations on December 1, 1896, as part of Japan's initiative to establish a nationwide network of weather monitoring stations.

The facility serves as an educational center where local residents learn about weather patterns, climate systems, and natural phenomena affecting their region.

Daily weather forecasts and severe weather warnings from the observatory help residents, farmers, and businesses make informed decisions about their activities.

The observatory maintains detailed records of Kumagaya's temperature variations, which contribute to long-term climate research and environmental studies in Japan.
