  The weather forecasts provided by NEXRA3.0 have been extended from the previous 5-day forecast range to 10 days. By advancing the display time using options such as "+1 hour" or "+1 day," users can monitor future weather forecasts.
  *The actual number of forecast days available may vary depending on the operational status of the JAXA Supercomputer System (JSS) and other factors.*
  In addition, we have started releasing part of the NEXRA3.0 data via an FTP site. Please refer to this page for information on data use.
