In conjunction with this, the Meteorological Agency has lowered the standards for the announcement of flood warnings and warnings, calling for attention and vigilance as there is a risk of disaster even with a little rain.

According to Naoji Nakamura, forecaster of the Japan Meteorological Agency Forecasting Division, from 18th to 19th, the low pressure travels from the south coast of Japan to off Sanriku, so there is a heavy rain exceeding 100mm on the Pacific side of eastern Japan and Tohoku. It is said.

In addition, even if it is not a record heavy rain like Typhoon No. 19, there is a risk that the risk of disasters such as river flooding may increase in the affected areas.
