解説 (JP): 場所や時間など、ある範囲のおおよそ全体にわたることを示します。出発点から終点までの広がりを表します。\n\nCommon Mistakes:\n❌ から大阪まで: Very close! '〜から〜まで' means exactly from point A to point B. However, for weather forecasts where the area is rough and spans across a general region, '〜にかけて' is the standard professional phrasing.\n❌ として大阪として: 'として' means 'As' (e.g., As a teacher). You can't use it for geographical spans.\n❌ にとって大阪にとって: 'にとって' means 'From the perspective/importance of X'. That doesn't describe where rain is falling!
