The mid-19th century was a period of great climate change. This time is about the Ansei era (1855-1860). There have been major changes both inside and outside Japan.
At the same time, detailed meteorological observation records will be recorded. In addition to the records of various hans, many public and private weather records will be recorded in the north and south.
For example, La Sibylle (French ship) traveled northward in the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan to reach the Sea of Okhotsk, and left a meteorological observation record. Observer Louis Furet has also stayed in Naha for a long time to keep meteorological records.
During this Ansei era, detailed weather records were recorded in institutions such as the Shogunate in Hokkaido and in personal diaries in Okinawa. Therefore, climate change can be restored over a wider area.
