Weather in Japan fluctuates regularly, and locals are used to it, often planning activities and schedules around it. Efficient public warning systems exist to alert citizens about upcoming severe weather situations. Japan's attention to the weather, particularly in preparation for any changes, stems from its long history of rainy seasons, typhoons, and snowy winters, necessitating societal and infrastructural resilience.
Similar to Japan, both Europe and the US place high importance on weather forecasts, especially in regions experiencing frequent weather shifts. Accurate weather forecasts are crucial for planning purposes, public safety, and even economic activity. The extent of weather disturbances can vary, and the preparedness often depends on the region's history with such weather events.
