Hey there! Have you heard about the awesome '3D Rain Cloud Watch' app? It's a super cool tool that lets you keep an eye on heavy rain in real-time. And guess what? It's totally free! The app was created in partnership with the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) and the National Institute of Natural Sciences, so you know it's legit. They've used some seriously advanced weather tech, like the world's most advanced phased array weather radar, to give you a 3D view of rain clouds. Plus, it can predict sudden heavy rain 10 minutes ahead of time with over 80% accuracy. They've done loads of experiments to make sure it really works. How cool is that?

The app has totally rocked the media scene! It's been all over TV, like on 'TV Asahi Super J Channel' and 'NHK Weekly Maruwakari News,' and even in newspapers like 'Asahi Shimbun Evening Edition' and 'Me-Tele Dodesuka!' People are going crazy for it because it gives you super quick alerts about unexpected downpours. Imagine how handy that is for stuff like music festivals, outdoor events, and running your business smoothly.

The app's super cool technology lets you check out rain clouds that bring on heavy downpours in just 30 seconds! It's way better than the old slow process. And it's not just about checking the rain, it actually helps prevent disasters by giving us useful info on heavy rains caused by typhoons. The app uses fancy phased array weather radar data in certain areas of Kanto and Kansai, but don't worry, it also taps into regular radar data from other regions so we get more coverage and features.
