Okayama Local Meteorological Observatory

The Okayama Local Meteorological Observatory collects weather data through meteorological satellites, radar systems, and ground-based observation stations across the region.

The observatory began its operations in 1887 as part of Japan's initiative to establish a nationwide network of weather monitoring facilities.

Japanese communities rely on the observatory's forecasts for planning agricultural activities, seasonal celebrations, and daily routines throughout the year.

Visitors can access current weather conditions, forecasts, and meteorological educational resources through the observatory's official website at jma-net.go.jp/okayama.

This facility contributes to the WIGOS global observation system with station ID 0-20000-0-47768, integrating local data into worldwide meteorological research.
