Due to the influence of Typhoon No. 14 and the autumn rain front, it rains intermittently from Kanto to the Kii Peninsula. Especially in the Kii Peninsula and the Izu Islands, the rainfall increased, and the 72-hour rainfall until 1:00 p.m. was 536.0 mm in Nachikatsuura / Irokawa city, Wakayama prefecture, and 474, 0 mm in Hachijojima, Tokyo.
In other areas, the amount of rainfall is increasing and the risk of sediment-related disasters is increasing. As of 1:30 PM, there are many places where heavy rain warnings have been issued and sediment disaster warning information is being announced in Nara prefecture and Tokyo (Izu Islands).
Stay alert as it can rain into the afternoon on the Kii Peninsula and late tonight on the Izu Islands.
Typhoon No. 14 expected course
Typhoon No. 14 (Chang Hong) is estimated to occur at 2:00 p.m. and is heading east-northeast off the Kii Peninsula. Speed is still slow at 15km / h for an autumn typhoon, and is expected to change course from east to slightly south in the future.

Radar of rain clouds
Although the center of the typhoon is slightly off the ground, it is affected by the stagnation of the autumn rain front near Honshu, and a large area from Kanto to the Kii Peninsula is covered by active rain clouds. During the hour to 9:30, we observed 16.5 mm in Aji, Shima City, Mie Prefecture, and 15.0 mm in Kozushima, Tokyo.
There may be a lot of rain tonight in the Izu Islands, which are near the typhoon’s path. Since there are places where the total precipitation has already exceeded 500mm, strict precaution against sediment-related disasters is required.
Also, be careful as heavy rains are expected around noon on Saturday the 10th today in the Kii and Sotobo peninsula, Chiba prefecture.
The Pacific coast near the typhoon is windy, and at 9:30 a.m., the maximum instantaneous wind speed of 30.9 m / s was observed at Miyakejima, Tokyo, and 30.1 m / s at Shiosaki, Wakayama prefecture.
In the future, there is a risk of a wind gust with an instantaneous maximum wind speed of 30 m / s or more, mainly in areas where the typhoon is in a region of high winds. You need to be careful about disruption of rail schedules due to overhead lines and local power outages.
11 (Sun) climate and temperature
The typhoon is likely to leave the main island on the 11th (Sunday) tomorrow, and rain and wind in each area will cross the pass. Although it is easy to rain in Kanto like Tokyo, it is expected that there will be times when it stops rather than the rain that has been raining for the past few days.
Western Japan and Tokai are sunny and warm, and it’s a bit hot. Be careful with your physical condition as it will increase the temperature difference of the last days.
Regarding the names of typhoons, 140 names proposed by the member countries of the international organization “Typhoon Committee” are prepared in advance and given in the order of appearance.
Typhoon # 14’s name “Chan-hom” is a name proposed by Laos and is derived from the name of the tree.
