Wireless technology is rapidly changing the way we consume and apply information to our daily lives. The mobile phone gives us the ability to access a whole of host of information anywhere anytime. With the power of the mobile phone and our commitment to providing "contents" not just "information", Weathernews is changing the way people interact with mother nature. Because the mobile phone is the world's most personal media device, it is only natural that the contents provided can be tailored by the user to suit their own needs.
For Weathernews, it's all about providing weather risk communication contents which increasingly optimize our ability to make decisions on the impact of weather in our daily lives.
Since our pioneering steps into the mobile space in Japan back in 1999, we have continued to combine the latest mobile technology with our formidable global meteorological knowhow to create weather risk communication contents. We are currently one of the most visited mobile portals in Japan. Furthermore, mobile phone users in 14 countries now have access to Weathernews. We are working hard to constantly deliver even richer weather risk communication contents to our over one million subscribers worldwide. We believe very strongly in enaging with our subscribers who we believe are our "supporters", and make every effort to incorporate their feedback in ongoing content development.

For over 50 years we have been quietly changing how both industry and individuals interact with the weather. All our risk communication contents stem from a corporate culture that lives and breaths weather. In Japan for example we constantly monitor the development of tropical storms or Typhoons. Translating this information into weather risk communication contents gives our supporters the lead time necessary to mitigate the effects of an oncoming disaster. Our meteorological experience and commitment to truly communicating the risk of weather to individuals, industry and the community at large is steadfast and operates around the clock. Our risk communication contents are supported by over 400 specialized meteorologists worldwide who constantly analyze the wealth of meteorological data in order to create proactive weather risk communication contents that reduce the negative effects of weather.
Mobile phone technology continues to advance at breathtaking pace. Whether it be the latest Java Application, or FLASH or even Video Streaming, our specialized team of developers constantly incorporate the latest technology to bring our supporters the very best in weather risk communication contents.
