Increased risk of development of Kanto rain clouds and thunderclouds on the 22nd Rain like a waterfall or warning-grade heavy rain (Weather forecaster Keiko Mochizuki July 21, 2022) –Japan Weather Association tenki.jp

This time, instead of the type of rain that “developed rain clouds continue for a long time”, it will be a way of rain that “rain suddenly intensifies in a short time”. If you encounter heavy local rain, please try to enter a sturdy building, check the latest weather information, and move away from the underground and waterside.

You can get the latest “weather information” by using TV or radio, but there are three recommended checkpoints when checking on the Internet.

①Rain cloud radarLet’s check. You can see not only the actual situation of “where the rain clouds are developing now” but also the prediction of “where the rain clouds will go following this”. You can find out more by expanding the area where you are.

②Lightning radarLet’s check. It can be used in the same way as a rain cloud radar. Also, where lightning is expected, not only lightning strikes but also gusts such as tornadoes are more likely, so be careful of hail.

③Notices and AlertsLet’s check. You can see what kind of phenomenon you should be careful regarding and be wary of depending on the type of warning / alarm announced. The cautionary notes also state how long you should be careful and vigilant.
