  Correct answer

  As of August 3, 8, there are 17 weather forecasters in Japan, of which 10,977 are in Miyagi Prefecture. That's a surprising number! The weather forecaster exam is held twice a year, and once obtained, the qualification does not expire, so this number is expected to continue to increase.

  Interestingly, when comparing the number of weather forecasters per prefecture population,Miyagi Prefecture is the fifth highest in the country.It turns out to be a number.

  

  Not all weather forecasters work for weather companies or as weathercasters, or in other jobs related to weather forecasting. However, it's reassuring to have someone with meteorological knowledge close to you. "Weather" is closely related to our lives and is widely involved in work in various fields. If you're interested, why not try taking the weather forecaster exam?

Originally from Aomori Prefecture. I qualified as a weather forecaster in March 2018, and am currently studying meteorology at graduate school. Weather is an essential part of life, and it's also fascinating. I hope that I can convey this to everyone through "Okaeri Mone."
