                                    <div class="fontL" id="box_com0">The center of the typhoon is currently over the sea east of the Philippines and is still at a distance from Okinawa. However, due to its large size, active rain clouds on the periphery of the typhoon have begun to flow into the southwestern islands. For the Okinawa and Amami regions today, July 23 (Tue), even if there are glimpses of sunlight through the clouds, be cautious of sudden heavy rain and thunderstorms.<p>From tomorrow, July 24 (Wed), when the center of the typhoon passes, through the 25th (Thu), active rain clouds from the typhoon itself will successively pass, increasing rainfall. While there may be variability depending on the typhoon's path, it is expected that rainfall will be high in areas such as Ishigaki Island, reaching around 300mm.</p><p>After passing Okinawa, the typhoon is expected to change its course slightly to the northwest and move towards the Chinese mainland. The moist air flowing in from the south between the typhoon and the Pacific High will make rainfall more likely on the Pacific side of western Japan. Therefore, even if you are far from the typhoon's path, do not let your guard down, as significant rainfall is possible.</p></div>

From the passage of the typhoon tomorrow, July 24 (Wed), through the day after tomorrow, July 25 (Thu), wind speeds are expected to average over 30 m/s, with gusts reaching 40 to 50 m/s. If the center passes close to the islands, there is a risk that winds could strengthen further.<p>There are concerns about cars overturning and trees and power poles being knocked down. Due to the relatively slow movement of the typhoon, it is expected that the inclement weather will last for more than 24 hours, making it unsafe to go outside, so preparations for power outages and stockpiling food are necessary.</p><p>Please proceed with typhoon preparedness as early as possible.<br/>» Radar Wind Mode</p></div>
