Typhoon No. 10 high waves and storm surge warning point August 13 at 17:34
The point where typhoon No. 10 needs to be alerted is the “high waves and storm surges”.
Be wary of high waves before the typhoon approaches
Along with the typhoon northward, the Pacific Ocean side of eastern Japan, western Japan, and Okinawa / Amami over the 14th, are expected to be particularly severe, especially in Shikoku where the wave height is 10 meters.
Because of the large typhoon, the waves are high before the typhoon approaches, including other areas. Be careful when approaching the sea, as it is also a time for a Bon holiday.
Be wary of storm surges
Warning is also necessary for the storm surge where a large amount of seawater rushes to the coast.
The storm surge occurs when the sea level is sucked up by a typhoon and the sea level is blown by strong winds from offshore.
Now that it is in the period of high tide with high tide, it is easy for storm surges to occur.
In areas where typhoons are expected, flood damage may occur on breakwaters, houses facing the sea, and roads. Be wary of flooding due to storm surges by checking the high tide time in advance, mainly in the coast of western Japan.
