After opening the website, enter the name of the place you want to check the weather from the search icon on the upper side of the screen.


When "tokyo" is entered, the map around Tokyo has been displayed. Since the unit of the temperature is displayed as Ka, if you change from "F °" to "C °" on the upper side of the screen, you will see Ce. You can also change the date and time etc from the menu on the right.

Items are "Temperature", "Feels Like Temperature", "Precipitation Rader", "Precipitation Forecast", "Wind Speed", "Wind Gust" "Dew Point (Dew point) "," UV Index (ultraviolet ray index) "," MSL Pressure (average sea level) "and" Ozone (ozone) ".
