Weathernews opened “Hatsuhinode Ch.” on its smartphone app “Weathernews” and began distributing the time of the first sunrise of New Year’s Day 2024 and the latest weather information.
On New Year’s Day, a winter pressure pattern will prevail, and the probability of seeing the first sunrise is relatively high on the Pacific Ocean side, especially on the Pacific Ocean side in western Japan. On the Pacific side of Kanto and Tohoku, the chance of seeing the sunrise will be higher if the low pressure system leaves earlier. It is difficult to see the first sunrise on the Sea of Japan side such as Hokuriku, Hokkaido’s northern Hokkaido, and the Sea of Okhotsk side because of the tendency for clouds to spread.
Hatsuhinode Ch.’s “Hatsuhinode Time Prediction” is a service that predicts the time when the first sunrise will be visible from your current location, down to the minute. Using a unique analysis method, it is possible to accurately determine the time when the first sunrise will be visible, even when mountains and clouds obstruct the appearance of the sun.
