Since Typhoon No. 17 is large, wind and rain may be affected over a wide area from western Japan to northern Japan. It is necessary to be wary and cautioned not only in areas where typhoons are approaching, but also in winds and rain that are strengthened in areas far from typhoons.

Large typhoon

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the storm area of ​​Typhoon No. 17 with a wind speed of 25 meters or more is wide within 260 km on the east side and 90 km on the west side at noon on the 21st.

Furthermore, the “strong wind region” with a wind speed of 15 meters or more is within 650 km of the east side and within 560 km of the west side.

The typhoon is expected to travel northward while expanding the storm, and on the 22nd night, it will pass through the Tsushima Strait near the Sea of ​​Japan. After that, it is expected to change to a temperate cyclone while approaching northern Japan from the 23rd to the 24th, but the maximum wind speed is expected to be 25m or more accompanied by a storm, and strong winds may blow in a wide range.

If you are in a storm zone, keep alert, such as avoiding going outdoors. Even if you are away from the typhoon, in addition to managing crops, you need to be careful about outdoor activities using consecutive holidays.

A wide range of rain due to typhoons and fronts

Typhoon No. 17 is large, has large rain clouds surrounding it, and brings moist air over a wide area. The activity of the front line that stretches east and west in the vicinity of Japan will also become active, resulting in unstable atmospheric conditions in various places.

There is a risk of very heavy rain near the typhoon, so be wary of landslide disasters, low land inundation, and river flooding. Even if you are away from the typhoon, it is necessary to be careful because it may cause rain locally and there may be a gust of lightning or a tornado.

Be aware of areas affected by typhoon 15

In Chiba Prefecture and the Izu Islands, which are far from the typhoon, it is expected that the wind will blow intermittently and rain during the three consecutive holidays until 23rd.

In Chiba Prefecture and the Izu Islands, there are areas where power outages and housing damage have been prolonged due to the effects of Typhoon # 15. Restoration work on the roof is dangerous, so please be careful, such as avoiding work during wind and rain.
