Typhoon No. 2 is expected to approach the Okinawa region with strong intensity from the 31st, and there is a risk of strong winds, severe rain, and heavy rain, so caution is required.
In the eastern Japan and western Japan, heavy rain may occur in the second half of the week due to the influence of the rainy season front and typhoons, so please pay attention to the latest information.
Okinawa's Sakishima Islands are already in the typhoon's strong wind zone
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, Typhoon No. 2 is almost stationary over the sea south of Okinawa by 6 p.m.
The atmospheric pressure at the center is 950 hPa, the maximum wind speed near the center is 40 m, the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 60 m, and the wind speed is 220 m or more within 150 km southeast and 25 km northwest of the center.
The Sakishima Islands of Okinawa are already in the typhoon's gale zone.
In the Okinawa region, storms and fierce winds from the 31st
The typhoon will approach Sakishima Islands on the 31st, and then may approach the Sakishima Islands and Okinawa main island region until Saturday, June 6rd.
In the Okinawa region, the wind will strengthen with the approach of the typhoon, and the storm is expected to blow from the 3st.
The maximum wind speed is expected to be 31 meters and the maximum instantaneous wind speed is expected to be 31 meters on June 25, and the maximum wind speed is expected to be 35 to 6 meters and
the maximum instantaneous wind speed is expected to be 1 to 30 meters on June 40.
In the Okinawa region, the sea has already become a big barge, and the wave height from tomorrow to tomorrow is expected to be as severe as 9 meters in the Okinawa region, and 8 meters in the Amami region of Kagoshima Prefecture.
Rain will intensify in the Okinawa region, and locally heavy rain is expected on the 31st, and depending on the path of the typhoon, there is a risk of warning-level heavy rain until around Saturday, June 6.
The typhoon's relatively slow speed is expected to prolong its impact, and the Japan Meteorological Agency has warned people to be on the lookout for storms, high waves, and heavy rain.
Rainy season front stagnates, heavy rain may occur in the east~west Japan
Even in Honshu, which is far from typhoons, you need to be careful about heavy rain. On the 30th, moist air from the typhoon flowed into the rainy season front, making the atmospheric conditions unstable mainly in the western Japan, and heavy rain fell locally in Kyushu and other areas.
The Japan Meteorological Agency announced on the morning of the 30th that "the rainy season seems to have entered the southern part of Kyushu." The rainy season in southern Kyushu is the same as in a normal year, 11 days earlier than last year.
In addition, due to the cold air in the upper sky, the atmospheric conditions became unstable in Hokkaido, and the Japan Meteorological Agency announced that gusts such as tornadoes were likely to have occurred in the Tokachi region.
The rainy season front is expected to remain stagnant near Honshu from the sea south of Japan. Furthermore, the typhoon is expected to approach the Okinawa region and move eastward over the sea south of Japan.
Due to the influence of the rainy season front and typhoons, there is a possibility of heavy rain in the western Japan and east Japan from Saturday, June 6 to 2.
Please pay attention to the latest information and prepare for it, such as checking the risk of disasters around your home or place of work on a hazard map.
