The Gari Index is a prediction of the user's "Gari-Gari-kun" based on the weather forecast data of each region. There are 4 levels of gully index, and if the heat is such that even one gully can survive, it will rise to "1 gully", then 2 gully and 3 gully, and the 4th step will be "box gully" at once. The gully index is updated twice daily in the morning and evening, and every Friday, the "two-week gully index" is also announced as a preliminary forecast.
