Due to the influence of low pressure, the wind is getting stronger mainly in the coastal areas of Kanto and the Izu Islands.

In the Kanto and Izu Islands, a very strong wind is expected to blow until dawn on the 9th, and the sea is expected to be a big storm. ..

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the low pressure system that occurred near the Izu Islands slowly moved eastward last night, and the wind is getting stronger in the coastal areas of the Kanto region and the Izu Islands.



At 5:47 am, we observed a maximum instantaneous wind speed of 29.1 meters in Choshi City, Chiba Prefecture, and at 6:18 am, we observed a maximum instantaneous wind speed of 24.2 meters at Tsubota, Miyakejima.



The maximum wind speed expected in various places on the 8th is ▽ 25 meters at sea in the Kanto region, ▽ 23 meters at the Izu Islands, ▽ 20 meters at land in the Kanto region, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed is expected to be 35 meters. It is expected to be.



The slow and very windy state of the low pressure system is expected to continue until dawn on the 9th, so caution is required against storms and high waves.



In addition, the atmospheric condition becomes unstable due to the influence of the moist air flowing toward the low pressure system, and there is a risk that heavy rain will occur locally with lightning until noon on the 8th, mainly in the coastal areas of the Kanto region.



The Japan Meteorological Agency calls for careful attention to sediment-related disasters, inundation of low land, flooding of rivers, severe gusts such as lightning strikes and tornadoes, and "hail".



If there are signs that a developed cumulonimbus cloud is approaching, such as a sudden cold wind blowing or the sound of thunder, try to ensure safety by moving to a sturdy building.
