Niigata Local Meteorological Observatory

Niigata Local Meteorological Observatory, Weather monitoring center in Chūō-ku, Niigata, Japan

The Niigata Local Meteorological Observatory is a weather monitoring facility in Niigata that continuously records temperature, precipitation, and wind conditions. The station uses specialized instruments to gather detailed information about local weather patterns and atmospheric changes.

This facility was established as part of the nationwide network operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency under the Tokyo District Meteorological Observatory. It has been monitoring regional climate conditions since its foundation.

The observatory contributes to regional knowledge by educating students and residents about meteorological phenomena through regular information sessions and public outreach programs.

The station is located in Niigata and operates as a specialized monitoring post without regular public access. The data gathered here is made available to the public through official weather reports and forecasts.

This observatory specializes in snow measurement because Niigata experiences heavy snowfall and is among Japan's snowiest regions. This focus makes it particularly important for understanding harsh winter conditions in the area.
