Hello! Have you heard about the amazing '3D Rain Cloud Watch' app? It's a fantastic tool that allows you to monitor heavy rain in real-time. And the best part? It's completely free! Developed in collaboration with the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) and the National Institute of Natural Sciences, you can trust its reliability. Utilizing cutting-edge weather technology, such as the world's most advanced phased array weather radar, this app provides a 3D visualization of rain clouds. Additionally, it can accurately predict sudden heavy rain 10 minutes in advance with over 80% accuracy. Numerous experiments have been conducted to ensure its effectiveness. How impressive is that?

The app has made a big impact in the media world! It has been featured on various TV channels such as 'TV Asahi Super J Channel' and 'NHK Weekly Maruwakari News,' as well as in newspapers like 'Asahi Shimbun Evening Edition' and 'Me-Tele Dodesuka!' People are loving it because it provides fast alerts about sudden rain showers.

The app's advanced technology allows you to quickly view rain clouds that lead to heavy rainfall in just 30 seconds! It is a significant improvement over the previous slow process. Additionally, the app not only provides information on rainfall but also helps prevent disasters by offering valuable insights on heavy rains from typhoons. The app utilizes sophisticated phased array weather radar data in specific areas of Kanto and Kansai, but it also incorporates regular radar data from other regions for increased coverage and features.
