Which weather model for Japan should we add next?
-
Hello everyone!
We're thinking of adding a new local weather model for Japan. Which model would you like to see added? Do you have any preferred one you use and like?
Please let us know here in the thread below!

Here are the weather models which are run by JMA, the Japan Meteorological Agency:

Seems the LFM model should be a suitable one. -
@idefix37 JMA was the first place I went to regarding researching models for Japan. LFM has only 10 hours of forecast so I was thinking more about using MSM.
Final choice depends on demand though, as LSM has much finer grid (2km vs 5km of MSM) -
@filip_k
Yes, 10 h is pretty short. I didn’t notice it and only have proposed this model because Japan is a mountainous archipelago, so high resolution is better. Japanese users should give advice. -

@korina Good afternoon!
I would recommend to add SwissHD 4x4 weather model if it is possible. 😊
I think it is very good weather model, because the model has high resolution (4x4 Square kilometres) and covers almost entire Europe (I uploaded also attachement with example and region)
Hopefully my recommendation is useful.
Kind Regards

I'd vote for Japan Meteorological Agency's Global Spectrum Model (GSM). This is a global model with a resolution of 0.1875 degrees (approximately 20 km).
This way it benefits both Japanese locals and also global forecasters.

Hi Korina,
May I know how to display the specific position below this weather picker? I have this features before but now, it's gone already.

@michille Try this in Settings:

Great idea and glad to hear this may happen. I use windy a lot for forecasting southern Japan and finf it very useful. If you could add JMA model data, that would be fantastic. I hope this happens as our forecasting office would find this extremely useful. Thanks!
-
@anthony10 ....I agree.
If the option is available, I would like an additional global model (JMA GSM) made accessible for the global community.

Japan METARs and TAFs are available from:

TAF:

Please add to the airports modeling for Japan it would me SO helpful!
Thanks!

GSM would be awesome. But for the Japanese market, MSM is probably better.

是的是的这个位置怎么对不上

@周丕兴
I do not understand what you mean. I have not said that there is something wrong with Japan. I've said that Japan is a mountainous country and it would be better to offer a weather model performing well in this environment. -

I would recommend to add SwissHD 4x4 weather model if it is possible. 😊

@108lightbox
The question was ‘Which weather model for Japan should we add next?’
The model that you mention is not available for Japan. -
Korina, Could you update us on your progress adding a more accurate model for Japan? Windy’s data presentation is great but its forecasts for Japan are currently not even close. Thanks.

@ChristopherJLa Hello, once we have a better idea about the new potential model, we will let you know.

I idefix37 referenced this topic on

@idefix37 If I am to check weather information of Japan, I would usually use sites like https://weathernews.jp/ and https://tenki.jp/ which offer a lot more layers of information than Windy. For example, they provide forecast maps of spread of allergy-triggering pollen, the time of sakura blossom and when the leaves turn red, apparent temperature, seasonal forecast, easiness to observe starry sky, flash rain warning, upcoming hours radar forecast, and so on.
p.s. talking about mountainous area, I think Taiwan and Luzon and South Korea around the area also have somewhat comparable terrain despite different in each of their own ways. If a model of its kind is to be adopted I think these area should also be considered.

The question was ‘which weather model for Japan should we add next’. Nothing else. The features offered by your promoted weather apps are not provided by weather models.
