Example prompt: Can you get the official JMA weather discussion (気象概況) for the Kanto region and give me both the Japanese narrative and an English summary?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the official JMA narrative/discussion text for a Japanese region — especially when qualitative meteorologist commentary matters, not just forecast numbers. Prefer this over the forecast or warnings endpoints when you want the full human-written weather situation overview (気象概況), or when you need an English-language interpretation of JMA's official meteorological narrative for Japan-specific areas.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized area code returns a 404 or error response
- JMA upstream data temporarily unavailable causes service error
- Area code format mismatch results in no data returned
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) blocks the response
