With the typhoon approaching, the wind is gradually increasing in western Japan. At Amedas Onoma, which is located in Yakushima, Kagoshima prefecture, a strong wind was observed with an instantaneous maximum speed of 36.0 m / s at 12:03. At 10:55 a.m., the maximum instantaneous wind speed of 30.8 m / s was observed at Cape Muroto in Kochi prefecture.
Stay away from the coast as it is stormy and dangerous in coastal areas.
Typhoon No. 14 is moving north to south of Shikoku without increasing its speed. Beginning today, the course will gradually change to the northeast, leaving the Kii Peninsula before sunrise on Saturday the 10th, and southward from Kanto before sunrise on Sunday the 11th, and is expected to approach the west and east of Japan.
Although the chance of landing is low, if the center of the typhoon approaches, both the rain and the wind will intensify and the weather will be harsh, so caution is required.
Total rain forecast until 9:00 p.m. on Sunday 11
It has been raining due to the influence of the autumn rain front before the arrival of the typhoon, and there is a risk of heavy rain on the Pacific side of eastern Japan and Kinki. In particular, heavy rains are expected due to the influence of the topography in the southern part of the Kii peninsula and the formation of a small front called the coastline on the Boso peninsula.
According to the Weather News forecast as of the morning of 9 (Friday), the total precipitation for 3 days (72 hours) until 9:00 p.m. of 11 (Sunday) can exceed 300 mm in the southern part of the peninsula Kii, and in Kanto, as well as in Chiba prefecture. We expect it to rain between 200 and 300 mm.
In addition to this, if the course of the typhoon moves north, it is undeniable that the typhoon itself will be exposed to active rain clouds, and the total precipitation will be close to 500 mm in the southern part of the Kii Peninsula, the Izu islands and the Boso peninsula. Beware of sediment-related disasters and river flooding.
With the typhoon approaching, a very strong wind is expected to blow in coastal areas and near the strait.
Since typhoons will gradually lose their power in the future, it is believed that Shikoku, the southern part of the Kii Peninsula, the Izu Peninsula, the Izu Islands, and the Boso Peninsula will enter the storm zone.
However, if the course of the typhoon moves north, the area entering the typhoon storm area will increase and there is a risk that a storm of 30 m / s or more will momentarily blow over a wide area. Beware of power outages.
Due to the weak winds in the sky and the difficulty of predicting the high pressure forces that govern the course, it is difficult to accurately predict whether a typhoon will approach or leave the ground. Even a small difference in course can make a big difference in effect.
Depending on the conversion situation tomorrow 9 (Friday), the forecast for the subsequent course is expected to be more accurate, so please continue to check the latest forecast.
As for 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.
