Jangmi Brings Heavy Rain Across Japan From Kyushu to Kanto

Typhoon Jangmi is forecast to bring heavy rain to western and eastern Japan along the Pacific coast through Wednesday, with warnings of violent winds, storm surges, landslides and flooding. Some areas could see 200–300 mm of rain; airlines have begun canceling flights to Okinawa, and rainfall is expected to accumulate from Monday to Wednesday—with about 100 mm forecast for Okinawa and Amami through Monday, rising to roughly 300 mm in Okinawa, Amami and southern Kyushu by Tuesday, and 200–300 mm in Shikoku and Kansai by Wednesday. The system, the sixth typhoon of the season, was moving north of Okinawa at 20 km/h, with a central pressure of 975 hPa and gusts up to 162 kph.
