Kumagaya Local Meteorological Observatory, Meteorological observatory in Kumagaya, Japan.

The Kumagaya Local Meteorological Observatory is a weather monitoring station in Kumagaya that takes daily measurements of temperature, rainfall, wind speed, and air pressure. The facility operates with standardized instruments that gather data used for local forecasts and climate studies.

The station was established in 1896 as part of Japan's expansion of weather monitoring stations. It has continuously gathered weather data since then, creating a long record available today.

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