Momone Nagaura (Kaya Kiyohara) lives with her parents, grandfather and younger sister on an island in Kesennuma Bay, Miyagi Prefecture. In the spring of 2014, Momone Nagaura graduates from high school and moves to the city of Tome. She fails to enter a university. While she tries to figure out what to do with her life, she begins to work as an apprentice of a forest guide. A turning point in her life occurs. A popular weather forecaster from Tokyo arrives. Momone Nagaura walks on a mountain with the weather forecaster. She hears from the weather forecaster that the weather forecaster can predict the future. Momone Nagaura becomes touched by that comment and decides to become a weather forecaster. She studies hard for the exam to become a weather forecaster. With the help of the people around her in Tome, she finally passes the exam. Momone Nagaura moves to Tokyo and begins to work at a private weather forecasting company. Working there, she grows up as a weather forecaster. Several years later, in 2019, a major typhoon approaches Japan. To help her hometown, she heads to Kesennuma Bay.

Gundabad Jun 16 2023 10:46 am The best jdrama in 2021. And here i am in 2023 but still rewatching this.

Mimi Oct 17 2021 3:32 am Such a great asadora! NHK really took a risk showing this kind of story for an asadora, and they did great. Weather forecaster profession is very interesting and intriguing, that will make you look forward to each and every episode. Heroine is truly a heroine!!! Little did we know that Weather forecasters are our true modern heroes!!! By giving information about the weather and disaster preventive measures. Glad I watched this asadora! Definitely my favorite ? Casts are also amazing!!! P.s I love sugamone so much hahaha
