Typhoon Shanshan hits southern Kyushu, Japan, moves northeast at a breakneck pace… “Long-term impact”

by times news cr

Typhoon Shanshan, the 10th typhoon that hit central and southern Japan and caused at least 5 casualties, is moving northeast at a speed similar to running on the 30th, pouring down heavy rain.

The Japan Meteorological Agency forecasted that record-breaking heavy rains will continue through the weekend, making it not unusual for large-scale disasters to occur anywhere in the east and west.

There is a high possibility that Sansan will make landfall in Shikoku again later today. However, it was said that even in eastern Japan and the Tohoku region, which are far from the typhoon, there is a possibility of very heavy rain accompanied by lightning, so strict caution is needed.

As of 2:00 AM, Sansan is moving northeast at 10 km/h between Oita and Ehime prefectures. Its speed is not expected to increase much in the future, but it is expected to change course to the east.

The typhoon’s central pressure is 994 hectopascals (haP), the maximum wind speed is 20 m/s, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 30 m/s.

In Shikoku, where concerns about a second landfall are high, heavy rain poured down before the typhoon approached, with a line of rain that brought heavy rain to specific areas in a short period of time in Kagawa and Tokushima prefectures the day before. The weather is expected to become even more severe on this day, when the typhoon approaches in earnest.

In western Japan, especially in Shikoku and the Kii Peninsula, the effects of wind as well as rain are expected to become more severe, so even stronger precautions are needed.

Starting this weekend, there may be places where the typhoon’s impact will be prolonged until early next week.

The expected rainfall for 24 hours from 12:00 PM on this day is 150 mm in Kanto Koshin (metropolitan area), 300 mm in Tokai, 300 mm in Kinki, 150 mm in Chugoku, 300 mm in Shikoku, 100 mm in northern Kyushu, and 100 mm in southern Kyushu.

From 12:00 PM on the 31st, for 24 hours, the following amounts of rain will fall: 150 mm in Hokuriku, 150 mm in Kanto Koshin, 400 mm in Tokai, 200 mm in Kinki, 120 mm in Chugoku, and 150 mm in Shikoku.

From 12:00 PM on the 1st, rain of 200 mm is expected in Hokuriku, 150 mm in Kanto Koshin, 200 mm in Tokai, and 150 mm in Kinki over a 24-hour period.

The Japan Meteorological Agency warned that special attention should be paid to landslides, river overflows, and flooding. Flood risk information was issued for rivers that flow through Tokyo, such as the Meguro River, Nogawa River, Sengawa River, and Asakawa River.
