This typhoon No. 10 is expected to exceed 1000 mm in areas where there has been a lot of rain since the beginning of the rain, and there is a risk of “heavy rain” even in areas with relatively little rain, such as the Setouchi region, which are usually relatively rainy. In addition, caution is required for "storms", "high waves" and "storm surges".

Be wary of landslides and river floods

After the 14th, it is expected that the rain cloud with the developed typhoon will continue to be applied.

What is particularly important is “sediment disaster” and “river flooding”. Check for hazards and evacuation areas in the vicinity using hazard maps.

At homes with people who take time to evacuate, such as people living in places with high risk of sediment-related disasters and floods, such as mountain slopes and rivers, and elderly people, children, and people with disabilities Please pay attention to the evacuation information of the local government and try to evacuate early.

Even if there is no evacuation information from the local government, it is also important to move to a safe place on a voluntary basis before the situation worsens. Every time there is a typhoon or heavy rain, people go to see the paddy fields and waterways, and people who die are always gone. When the rain and wind get stronger, it is very dangerous, so please keep away from paddy fields and waterways.

A furious wind in the center of the Pacific Ocean

Typhoon No. 10 is expected to have a fierce wind blowing around the Pacific side of western Japan over the 15th.

Maximum wind speed is 30 meters in Shikoku, 27 meters in southern Kyushu, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed is expected to be 40 to 45 meters.

If the maximum wind speed is 30 meters or more, trees, utility poles, block fences, etc. may fall over and the running truck may roll over.

Outdoor activities are extremely dangerous. Measures such as closing the shutters or putting things that are easily blown indoors should be done before the typhoon approaches.

Then, move to a safe place before entering the typhoon area, and refrain from unnecessarily going out after entering the storm area.

Wave height of 9-10 meters

This typhoon and the coast also need to be vigilant.

The sea is a big deal, and the wave height on the 15th is 10 meters in Shikoku, and 9 meters in Kyushu, Kinki, and Tokai.

Risk of storm surge

The storm surge requires further caution.

A forecaster of the Japan Meteorological Agency, who held a press conference on the 13th, warned, “At the timing when the typhoon approaches, the tide level is high during normal tide, and there is a risk of a storm surge due to the approach of the typhoon.” I am calling.

The storm surge rises when the sea surface is sucked up by a typhoon or the seawater is blown off by a strong wind from offshore, and a large amount of seawater is pushed to the coast. Now it is easy to get up at the time of high tide.

Be prepared to check the high tide time in advance, mainly on the coast of western Japan.
