IZA' (pronounced W-P-C-I-Z-A), a brand of parasols for men that are also rainproof, developed by World Party Co., Ltd. In addition to overseeing the parasol index (degree of necessity for a parasol) based on meteorological data such as temperature, humidity, and solar radiation across the country, this year, six meteorologists from Weather Map, who are active on information programs, will collaborate to disseminate information on social media using the parasol forecast. From an expert's perspective, they will convey the necessity of parasols and encourage their daily adoption. The special website is available for a limited time from June 29, 2026 (Mon) to September 30, 2026 (Wed).
