Dujuan Regains Typhoon Strength, Brings Heavy Rain Risk to Japan’s Izu Islands
TL;DR
Japan braces for Dujuan, which briefly intensified to a typhoon and is forecast to strengthen again to a typhoon with winds up to 80 mph (gusts ~100 mph) as it moves northeast toward the Izu Islands, prompting evacuation warnings and warnings of heavy rain, floods and landslides across Chubu and Kanto (potentially ~200 mm in 24 hours; Tokyo could see intense downpours, and the Izu Peninsula may receive 80 mm in three hours) before the system dissipates later this week. Separately, the Atlantic season remains unusually quiet as Fay forms southwest of the Azores, likely not strengthening, while parts of SW Europe are forecast to experience a late-summer heatwave.
