Information on Typhoon No. 9 Closest Approach to Okinawa Tonight Severe Catastrophic Grade Storm Warning Typhoon Information for 2020-Weather News

This year, the area of ​​the sea with high sea surface temperature extends considerably to the north, and the sea surface temperature exceeds 28 ° C even in the sea near Japan. Therefore, the environment is such that typhoons are likely to develop and Typhoon 9 is expected to continue to develop and become a very powerful force.

Typhoon No. 9 is expected to be the closest to Okinawa with extremely strong forces starting tonight tomorrow (Tuesday, September 1) with a storm area. The central air pressure is forecast to be 935 hPa, the maximum wind speed near the center will be 50 m / s, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed will be 70 m / s in the early morning of September 1 (Tuesday ), which is expected to be closer to the main island of Okinawa. ..

If the forces approach them as predicted, there is a danger of typhoon damage which will be quite great.

Typhoon No. 15, which passed in August 2015, has a central pressure of 935 hPa and a maximum wind speed of 50 m / s at the time of closest approach. Ishigaki Island recorded the highest instantaneous wind speed of 71.0 m / s, which was the first in the history of the observation, and it was in a situation where the parked car rolled over and the traffic light collapsed along with the struts.

Typhoon 9 is expected to pass west of the main island of Okinawa, and the main island of Okinawa will enter the “dangerous semi-circle” on the right side of the direction where the wind tends to intensify. In addition to heavy rains, strong windstorms, high waves, and storm surge are expected to increase the impact, so strict caution is required. Be sure to complete typhoon measures by this morning.

Typhoon 9 is expected to continue into the East China Sea after passing near Okinawa. After that, it is more likely to change course to the northeast and continue to the north of Kyushu, but there is also the possibility of passing near western Japan, such as Kyushu. Since rain and wind can intensify in Kyushu around 2 (Wednesday) to 3 (Thursday), take action ahead of time.
