U.S. editionNHK reported on the morning of the 24th that the large, strong Typhoon No. 30 was almost stalled with the Sakishima Islands of Okinawa Prefecture inside its storm zone. NHK reported that two people were injured in Okinawa on the night of the 23rd, and that on the morning of the 24th the Japan Meteorological Agency issued a “linear rainband imminent forecast” for the Ishigaki Island area. NHK reports that in Taiwan one person died and 350 were injured. TBS NEWS DIG reported that, with Typhoon No. 30 and the autumn rain front, western and eastern Japan will also see long-lasting rain, with a risk of warning-level heavy rain over a wide area. FNN Prime Online reported that No. 30 could come very close to Kyushu and make landfall on the 26th and is expected to approach the Kanto region on the 27th. tenki.jp reported the formation of No. 31 (Infa).
NHK reported that Typhoon No. 30 is almost stalled, and the slower its movement, the longer strong wind and rain persist over the same area. TBS NEWS DIG reported the combination of the typhoon and the autumn rain front as a cause of the heavy rain, so the effects reach areas far from the typhoon as well.
People living from Kyushu to Kanto may see wind and rain strengthen from the 26th into the 27th. There is room to check plans for outings and shipping packages over the weekend and to prepare for power outages and transport disruption.
The view that preparations should be hurried. TBS NEWS DIG reported the risk of warning-level heavy rain over a wide area, and FNN Prime Online reported the possibility of landfall in Kyushu. NHK’s report on the damage in Taiwan also shows how powerful the typhoon is.
The view that forecasts have a range. FNN Prime Online’s report described landfall as a “possibility,” and the track and effects of No. 31, reported by tenki.jp and NHK, are not given. The typhoon is moving slowly, and there remains room for its track to change.
What is confirmed: the stall over the Sakishima Islands, deaths and injuries in Taiwan, the expected approach to Kyushu around the 26th, and the formation of No. 31. What is not confirmed: the track of No. 31, and whether and where No. 30 will make landfall. From tonight into tomorrow, we want to see whether the Japan Meteorological Agency’s track forecast is updated.

TBS NEWS DIG reported that, with the effects of Typhoon No. 30 and the autumn rain front, western and eastern Japan will also see long-lasting rain, with a risk of warning-level heavy rain over a wide area.
