Our data for Precipitation Rate / JAXA is based on the data from G-Portal by JAXA. This page purposes to explain detailed information for the downloadable data.

Example Dataset

Please download a free example dataset and use it in you app or analysis.

URL Expiration

All downloadable URLs expire in 90 days after your order.

Frequency and Update

The frequency is hourly. Generally, the latest data is updated within 1-2 hours after the JAXA data becomes available in G-Portal. The data version is 8. Note that, because of using the different version, the value of the precipitation rate on JAXA Realtime Rainfall Watch is different from the value on this data. As of September 2th, 2024, the data version used in JAXA Realtime Rainfall Watch is 6. According to JAXA, the version 8 is more accurate, compare to the older version appeared on the application by JAXA.

Data Format

The default format is csv where no single/double quotation marks are used in the file. The rows having only the value of time mean that the precipitation rates are not observed at the point. Also, the geojson format is available, changing the file extension in the provided url from “csv” to “geojson.” Note that the geometry of geojson format is Point.
