Be careful of the risk of heavy rain in western Japan and future course

The typhoon is expected to approach the continent after that, but the westerlies that move the typhoon are located near the Korean Peninsula, so it is expected that it will not be able to move north for a while and will stagnate near the East China Sea.



There is a wide range of paths after that, but there is a possibility of approaching western Japan such as Kyushu, and there is a risk of heavy rain around the 16th.
