[Wave Forecast Information] Weather and Ocean Conditions Comprehensive Portal Site Compass PLUS

The booth exhibition of Sysmet Co., Ltd. at the 56th Iwasaki Total Solution Fair 2026, held on April 8 (Wednesday) and April 9 (Thursday), has successfully concluded. On the day of the event, members of the technical department involved in meteorological forecasting, equipment development, and fieldwork from our headquarters in Kitakyushu participated to support the booth, which included actual equipment. Many visitors came to the booth, where they asked questions to the meteorologists and inquired about new services such as environmental sensors for noise and vibration, resulting in a great response. On the 8th, we were honored to have the opportunity to give a presentation on "How to View Meteorological Data from a Forecaster's Perspective and an Introduction to AI Wind Forecasting" at the mini stage, led by our meteorologists. Moving forward, we will continue to provide services that contribute to everyone's safety and efficiency, focusing on the theme of "Visible" safety created through the combination of meteorology and technology.

On November 11, 2025, a proposal to revise the "Disaster Prevention Meteorological Information" concerning floods, heavy rain, landslides, and storm surges was approved by the Cabinet. The implementation is scheduled for the rainy season in 2026. This article will explain what disaster prevention meteorological information is, the issues with the current system, and how the new disaster prevention meteorological information will change. Table of Contents 1. What is disaster prevention meteorological information? 2. Issues with the current disaster prevention meteorological information 3. How will the new disaster prevention meteorological information change? 1. What is disaster prevention meteorological information? Disaster prevention meteorological information refers to information related to disaster risks announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency. It is issued when the risk of disasters such as heavy rain, floods, strong winds, lightning, storm surges, and landslides increases, serving as a basis for decisions on evacuation and work suspension. Specifically, it includes alerts and warnings such as "Special Heavy Rain Warning," "Landslide Warning," and "Storm Surge Advisory," which are denoted by the suffixes "warning" or "advisory." It also encompasses various other information, such as "Meteorological Information on Significant Heavy Rain" that alerts to the risk of linearly organized precipitation bands, "Heat Stroke Warning Alerts" during summer, and "Typhoon Information." 2.

Thank you for always watching. The last weather-related information for 2024 will introduce a theme unique to winter. As December has arrived, the temperature has dropped significantly. During this time, the term "cold air aloft" is often heard in weather forecasts. The phenomena of cold air aloft and clouds observed by the Himawari weather satellite can be viewed as images on the Japan Meteorological Agency's website. In fact, those images contain indicators that suggest the strength of the cold air aloft, in addition to the movement and shape of the clouds. This is referred to as "offshore distance." This time, I would like to introduce this "offshore distance." It may sound like a difficult term that is not very familiar, but it can actually be easily checked. Table of Contents 1.
