: A powerful typhoon is forecast to approach Japan’s southernmost prefecture of Okinawa around Wednesday, with weather officials on Monday warning of rough seas, high tides, violent winds and torrential rain, reported Xinhua.
The typhoon’s wind speeds have picked up from 162 kph near its center as clocked on Sunday evening, to current speeds of up to 216 kph, with an atmospheric pressure of 950 hectopascals at its centre. The JMA has warned that the slow moving nature of the typhoon means that the violent conditions it may bring could last for a protracted period of time, while its high-pressure system could destabilise atmospheric conditions across wide swathes of Japan.
Heavy rain is expected to inundate both eastern and western Japan in the days ahead, as the front will stay for a long period of time, the JMA said.
