Commencement of Meteorological Forecasting Business Upon Obtaining Forecast Business Permit

In recent years, due to the effects of climate change, localized and severe weather phenomena have been increasing across the country. Among these, hail is drawing attention as a natural disaster that causes significant damage not only to daily life but also to automobiles, agricultural products, solar power generation facilities, and logistics facilities.

Hail events are localized in their occurrence, but the damage costs are high, directly impacting corporate activities. However, conventionally, information has focused on relatively short-term forecasts, making it difficult for companies to take sufficient preventive measures in advance.

Until now, our company has been engaged in the research and development of "Long Lead Time Hail Alert," which integrates multiple forecast information provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency using our proprietary analysis logic to grasp hail risk at an early stage.

With the acquisition of the meteorological forecasting business permit, we are now able to conduct forecasting operations under an appropriate system based on the Meteorological Service Act for individuals, companies, and local governments.
