On February 24 (Tuesday), the Japan Meteorological Agency announced its three-month forecast for March to May. In the vicinity of Japan, the upper-level westerlies are expected to flow more to the north than usual, making it likely to be covered by warm air. As a result, above-average temperatures are predicted for March and April in regions excluding Okinawa and Amami, and nationwide in May. With an increase in warm days, there may also be days when it feels hot enough to sweat during the daytime. On sunny days, ultraviolet rays are likely to be strong, so please take precautions such as wearing hats and using sunscreen. For more details, please visit our website.

In recent years, extreme weather phenomena such as localized heavy rains caused by linear precipitation zones, unpredictable gusts of wind, and record-breaking heatwaves have been increasing. To ensure safety on-site, there is a demand for more accurate weather forecasts and swift decision-making. There are three main reasons why weather risk management is difficult at construction sites and factories: 1. Information is dispersed. Weather forecasts, wind speeds, heatstroke indices, rainfall... necessary information is spread across multiple systems and apps, making comprehensive decision-making time-consuming. 2. Information sharing is challenging. Only a few people are aware of the weather information, and it does not reach cooperating companies or on-site workers, making it difficult for everyone to have the same understanding in emergencies. 3. Localized forecasting is difficult. General weather forecasts target broad areas, and there are limitations to precise predictions at specific construction sites. This is especially true in mountainous or coastal areas. For future weather measures, "centralized management" and "visualization" will be key. Sysmet Corporation released the comprehensive weather platform ZEROSAI X-AI on February 18, 2026, to address these challenges. For more details, please visit our website or download the PDF.

On January 20 (Tuesday), the Japan Meteorological Agency announced its three-month forecast for the period from February to April. In the vicinity of Japan, the upper-level westerly winds are expected to flow further north than usual, particularly in the latter half of the period. As a result, February is expected to be cold nationwide, while March and April are predicted to be less affected by cold air, leading to a tendency for higher temperatures, except in Okinawa and Amami. With the arrival of spring anticipated to be early, cherry blossoms are also expected to bloom smoothly. Around April, there may be days that feel warm enough to sweat, so in addition to adapting to temperature differences, it is advisable to take measures against ultraviolet rays.
