The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has warned that Typhoon No. 10 is expected to move eastward over western Japan on September 1 and weaken into a tropical depression, urging residents to be vigilant against potential landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, river overflows, and tsunami.
Specifically, there is a high risk of a linear rainband forming between August 30 and 31, bringing heavy rain to western and eastern Japan, potentially leading to large-scale flooding. Meteorological experts warn that the damage caused by Typhoon No. 10 may not be limited to areas directly affected by the typhoon, but heavy rainfall could also cause widespread damage in areas beyond its influence.
As of 3:00 PM JST on August 30, the JMA reported that Typhoon No. 10 was located approximately 40 km west of Matsuyama City and moving northeast at a speed of 15 km/h. The typhoon's central pressure was recorded at 994 hPa, with maximum wind speeds reaching 25 m/s.
Typhoon No. 10 is expected to hit western Japan before weakening into a tropical depression, bringing heavy rain to the region. The 24-hour rainfall forecast from 6:00 PM JST on August 30 to 6:00 PM JST on August 31 is as follows:
* **Kanto Region:** 150mm * **Hokuriku Region:** 100mm * **Tokai Region:** 300mm * **Kinki Region:** 300mm * **Chugoku Region:** 120mm * **Shikoku Region:** 300mm
The 24-hour rainfall forecast from 6:00 PM JST on August 31 to 6:00 PM JST on September 1 is as follows:
* **Kanto Region:** 200mm * **Hokuriku Region:** 150mm * **Tokai Region:** 400mm * **Kinki Region:** 200mm * **Shikoku Region:** 150mm
The 24-hour rainfall forecast from 6:00 PM JST on September 1 to 6:00 PM JST on September 2 is as follows:
* **Kanto Region:** 200mm * **Hokuriku Region:** 150mm * **Tokai Region:** 200mm * **Kinki Region:** 150mm
The heavy rain associated with Typhoon No. 10 is expected to impact not only western Japan but also eastern Japan. The Tokai region is particularly at risk, with 400mm of rain expected from 6:00 PM JST on August 31 to 6:00 PM JST on September 1. The Kinki region is also at high risk, with 300mm of rain forecast from 6:00 PM JST on August 30 to 6:00 PM JST on August 31.
Japanese authorities have issued emergency evacuation orders to minimize damage from Typhoon No. 10 and urged residents to take precautions. They have also conducted safety inspections in advance and restricted access to dangerous areas to prepare for potential river flooding and landslides.
Typhoon No. 10 has the potential to cause significant damage across Japan, with the western region particularly vulnerable to severe flooding. The JMA is continuously monitoring the typhoon's path and rainfall, and will provide updates as necessary.
