The southern island of Kyushu is anticipated to experience up to half a metre of rain on Sunday as a result of a huge and severe typhoon that made landfall on Saturday, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
The organisation stated that because to the potential for strong waves and heavy rainfall in the area, it may issue a “special warning” for Kagoshima prefecture and other areas of Kyushu, Japan’s southernmost main island, as early as Saturday evening.
JMA official Ryuta Kurora advised locals to leave the area before it gets dark during a news conference that was broadcast on television due to the possibility of “unprecedented” storms and rains.
The agency predicted that southern Kyushu might receive 500 millimetres of rain on Sunday while central Tokai could receive 300 millimetres.
On Saturday afternoon, Typhoon Nanmadol, the 14th of the season, was moving northwest at a speed of 20 kilometres (12 miles) per hour as it passed through southern Japan’s Minami-Daito Island. On Tuesday, the storm is anticipated to turn east and pass over Tokyo before making its way out to sea by Wednesday.
As the storm neared, domestic stations displayed pictures of severe gusts and rain pelting Japan’s southern island chain of Okinawa.
