Note: The methodology used in the Global Open Data Index has changed over time; significantly so between 2015 and 2016. For this reason, the results are not directly comparable over time.

What data is expected?

3-day forecasts of temperature, precipitation and wind. Forecasts have to be provided for several regions in the country. Short-term weather forecasts are relevant for the general public to plan activities, while also being reliable. See our methodology section for more information.

  • Temperature extremes
  • Temperature average
  • Wind speed
  • Wind direction
  • Precipitation Amount
  • Precipitation Probability
  • Forecast for current day and four following days

How open is the data?

The original submission was not accepted. The data it referred to did not meet the required data characteristics. Forecasts for wind speed and direction are not available for the following two days (based on the current day). There are 3-hour forecasts containing precipitation, temperature and wind speed/direction. The forecasts only cover the next 24 hours. They are available at: https://www.jma.go.jp/en/jikei/319.html The data cannot be downloaded and is openly licensed. The terms of use require attribution. For more detail, see here: https://www.jma.go.jp/jma/en/copyright.html
