Also, from the night of the 17th to the 19th, it is expected that there will be violent winds that may collapse some houses, mainly in the southern part of Kyushu, the Amami region, and the northern part of Kyushu.

Record-breaking heavy rains are possible due to the occurrence of a linear rain belt
Developed rain clouds around the typhoon and the main body will continue to cover, and it is expected that there will be heavy rain and very heavy rain mainly in western Japan and the Pacific side of eastern Japan until the 19th.
In particular, in southern Kyushu and the Amami region from the night of the 17th to the 18th, and in northern Kyushu and Shikoku from the morning of the 18th to the 19th, a "linear rain belt" formed one after another, and the danger of heavy rain suddenly increased. may increase.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said there is a possibility of record heavy rains in northern and southern Kyushu and the possibility of issuing special heavy rain warnings. I am calling you to do so.
There is also a risk of affecting transportation during the three consecutive holidays
Due to the approach of the typhoon, the situation in Kyushu will deteriorate rapidly and it may become difficult to evacuate.
In addition to putting things inside buildings to prevent them from being blown away before the rain or wind picks up, using hazard maps to check the risks of disasters and evacuation sites around you, cleaning gutters and drainage ditches, and carrying out sandbags and water bags. Please take measures such as preparing
In addition, as the typhoon is approaching during the three-day weekend, there is a risk of strong winds and heavy rain over a wide area, which may affect transportation.
It may be difficult to grasp the danger of disasters and information from local governments at travel destinations, etc., and it may take time to take actions such as evacuation.
In areas where a typhoon is approaching, it is important to refrain from going out unnecessarily and urgently, and if you must go out, it is important to check the latest weather information, including reviewing your schedule, so that you can move to a safe place.
"Special typhoon warning" for the first time outside of Okinawa
A "special typhoon warning" is issued when a typhoon is expected to approach Japan with a force that occurs only once every several decades.
It is the first time since the operation started in 2013 that it has been announced outside of Okinawa Prefecture.
The standard for announcement is when the central pressure is 930 hectopascals or less, or when a typhoon is expected to approach with a maximum wind speed of 50 meters or more, and it is announced for storms, storm surges, and waves.
Okinawa, Amami, and the Ogasawara Islands, where typhoons frequently hit, have a central pressure of 910 hectopascals or less, or a maximum wind speed of 60 meters or more.
Difference from heavy rain emergency warning
The heavy rain special warning announced for heavy rain in August this year is issued when the situation has already deteriorated due to heavy rain, while the typhoon special warning is issued ``before'' when the situation worsens. Announced 12 hours before the center reaches the target area.
To date, special typhoon warnings have been issued twice, Typhoon No. 8 in 2014 and Typhoon No. 18 in 2016, both of which targeted Okinawa Prefecture.
It is the first time that it has been announced in Kyushu.
Evacuate early without waiting for special warnings
When a special typhoon warning is issued, the warnings for storms, waves, and storm surges that have already been issued for the target prefectures and regions will become special warnings.
For example, an emergency warning for storm surge may be issued after an emergency warning for storms and waves is issued.
Separately from this, when record-breaking heavy rain falls, a special heavy rain warning may be announced.
However, it is difficult to move in a storm.
Get away from dangerous places and evacuate before the rain or wind gets stronger.
Even in areas where emergency warnings have not been issued, people who live near coasts, rivers, land that is lower than surrounding areas, or near cliffs should try to evacuate early.
