Peak Strength Expected to Develop to “Very Strong”
Looking at the predicted course, Typhoon No. 10 is expected to move northwest due to the influence of a cold vortex up to around 29 degrees north latitude. It is increasingly likely to veer northeast from the south of Tanegashima and make landfall in western Japan around Wednesday, the 28th. After that, it is expected to progress northeast through the Sea of Japan, taking on characteristics of a temperate low-pressure system while heading toward northern Japan.
In areas close to the predicted path, there are concerns about the significant impacts of strong winds, with the possibility of powerful gusts of 40 to 50 m/s. There is a risk of blackouts and disruptions to logistics lasting for several days, so please prepare in advance. Additionally, even in regions distanced from the path on the east side, strong winds and severe weather may occur, warranting caution.
Moreover, in western Japan, particularly in Shikoku, there is a risk of considerable rainfall in areas where winds from the southeast collide with mountains. The total rainfall before the typhoon’s approach may exceed 300 mm, necessitating vigilance against river flooding and landslides.

Upon comparison, although the tendency to veer toward western Japan is generally aligned, the regions of potential landfall range from Kyushu to the Kii Peninsula, highlighting the variability in affected areas and the degree of impact. Even minor differences in the path can lead to significant changes, necessitating close attention to forecast developments. As time passes, the margin of error is expected to decrease, so please stay alert for future information.
