Large and strong typhoon No. 6 is moving northward, involving the Miyakojima and Yaeyama regions of Okinawa Prefecture in the storm region.
Due to the slow movement of typhoons, the effects of storms and fierce storms may continue into the Okinawa region tonight.
Stay vigilant against storms, high waves, and storm surges.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, a large and strong typhoon No. 6 is expected to travel north-northwest 130 km north-northwest of Miyakojima at a speed of 10 km per hour at 6 am.
The central pressure is 960 hectopascals, the maximum wind speed near the center is 40 meters, the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 55 meters, and storms with wind speeds of 25 meters or more are blowing 200 km east and 130 km west of the center.
Miyakojima and Ishigakijima are in the storm zone, and the wind is getting stronger in the main island of Okinawa.
The maximum instantaneous wind speed so far was
▽ 33.4 meters at Kumejima Airport after 2:30 am
▽ 28.8 meters at Miyako Airport before 3:00 am.
In addition, the tide level is high mainly in the Miyakojima and Yaeyama regions.
It rained locally, and in the back of Kunigami Village, it rained 31 mm in an hour until 5:30 am.
Slow movement and continued influence of storm high waves
The typhoon is expected to move northward while maintaining its strong power, and although it gradually moves away from the Okinawa region, it is expected to continue ▽ storms in the afternoon and ▽ fierce storms tonight due to its slow movement.
Stay safe, such as staying in a sturdy building.
On the 24th, the maximum wind speed is expected to be
30 meters in the Okinawa region,
18 meters in the Amami region of Kagoshima prefecture, and the
maximum instantaneous wind speed is
45 meters in the Okinawa
region and 30 meters in the Amami region.
The waves are high with swells, and
it is expected that ▽
a fierce injury of 10 meters
will continue in the
Okinawa region, and
▽ a large injury of 7 meters will continue in the Amami region.
Due to the rain clouds around the typhoon, heavy rain or extremely heavy rain may occur locally with lightning in the Okinawa and Amami regions.
The amount of rain in the 24 hours until the morning of the 25th
is expected to be
150 mm in the Amami region and
120 mm in the Okinawa region.
In addition, since the tide level is high and the tide is high, there is a risk of flooding in low lands near the coast due to high tides and high waves.
The Japan Meteorological Agency is calling for strict caution against storms, high waves, and storm surges, as well as landslide disasters, low land inundation, and river flooding.
Be careful of gusts such as lightning strikes and tornadoes.
Typhoon No. 8 also occurs Pay attention to future information
On the other hand, on the night of the 23rd, Typhoon No. 8 occurred in the sea near Minamitorishima in the Ogasawara Islands.
In the future, we may gradually change our course to the west and approach eastern Japan from northern Japan around the 27th of next week.
At the moment, the forecast circle is large and has a wide course, but there is a risk of rough weather around the typhoon, and the Japan Meteorological Agency is calling for attention to the latest information.
