                                    <div class="fontL" id="box_com0">As Typhoon No. 10 continues to move through areas conducive to its development due to sea surface temperatures and wind conditions, it is expected to reach a maximum wind speed of 45 m/s near its center on August 27 (Tuesday), becoming a "very strong" typhoon. At this time, it is projected to approach offshore Shikoku, and strong winds are expected along the Pacific coasts of Western and Eastern Japan.<p>Afterwards, it is likely to change its path to northeast and is expected to make landfall somewhere from Kyushu to Kanto between August 27 (Tuesday) and 28 (Wednesday). It might continue moving north-northeast, possibly crossing the Japanese archipelago as it transitions into an extratropical cyclone heading towards northern Japan.</p><p>Areas close to the predicted path are concerned about the effects of violent winds and heavy rain. Additionally, in regions east of the track, there may be strong winds and severe weather even far from the center, so caution is needed.<br/></p></div>

These are the calculated results using the ensemble forecasting method, which provides intentional errors to the initial values to examine the reliability of the forecasts.</p><p>When comparing these, there is a general tendency for the typhoon to turn near the waters off Shikoku and head towards northern Japan, indicating that it is almost certain that Japan will be affected. Although there is relatively little variation considering the forecast period, it is difficult to narrow down the areas that will be affected due to the shallow angle of approach towards land, with possible paths from west of Kinki to those passing near Kanto.</p><p>Even slight differences in the path can lead to significant variations in the regions affected and the degree of impact, so close attention to forecast changes is necessary. The errors are expected to decrease as time goes on, so please be attentive to future information. <br/></p></div>
