Tropical Storm Mawar brings heavy rain and evacuation advisory to Japan.

Tropical Storm Mawar has weakened to tropical storm strength from its earlier super typhoon status, but it has prompted authorities to advise over a million people to evacuate in Japan. The main body of the storm was expected to pass south of the main island of Honshu as it moved into the Pacific, but forecasters warned there was the danger that humid air from the storm could feed into a seasonal rain front, touching off heavy localised rains.
