Japanese weather channel?

Postby istephenyu8790 » July 3rd, 2013 5:48 am

Hi,
I'm trying to find some website that has videos of some official japanese weatherman. Just like how we in the usa have our own weather channel and weather guy, i was wondering if there was one in japan and if so if its available online.

It would be really helpful for me to really nail down my days of the week, and other basic japanese learning.

For example, the weather channel for english has a chinese extension, where you put .cn after the original english url to get the chinese weather channel, but there is none for japanese, where one would usually put a .jp afterwards.

Thanks

NHK has the same weather report in Japanese and English- although I don't know the times. If your TV is modern it will have full Japanese/ English options but mine is primitive so it only has limited examples.

Also this but it doesn't seem to have English.

Thanks for the website! I will try to get myself to the level to really hear what they are saying. I probably don't have NHK broadcast but I appreciate the input.

istephenyu8790-san, cloa513ch2629-san,
NHK is a good idea; thank you for your help :D

Japanese TV (especially NHK) worries so much about licence and rights, so if you can't find
NHK weather casts, maybe the AM radio might also help.
Although radio has only audio (no visual aid), it's easier to access.

All TV and radio programmes' schedules are also available on internet, so hopefully you can
find some good information :wink:
