W Typhoon Typhoon No. 9 and Typhoon No. 10 approach on the last Saturday and Sunday of August Watch out for high waves for sea leisure
August 26, 2023 07:14
Two typhoons, Typhoon No. 9 and Typhoon No. 10, will affect Japan from the last weekend of August until next week. In particular, due to high waves accompanied by swells, it is necessary to pay attention to leisure activities at sea.
Typhoon No. 9 Complex movements and long-lasting effects
There are two typhoons near Japan, and they will affect us over the next week, including this Saturday and Sunday. The characteristics of Typhoon No. 9 and Typhoon No. 10 are summarized.
First, Typhoon No. 9 in the east of the Philippines. Typhoon No. 9 is characterized by its “complex movement” and “slow movement.” As of 6:00 on the 26th, it is moving south-southwest at a slow speed (less than 9 km/h). It won’t get much faster over the next week. It is expected to approach Taiwan from the Sakishima Islands by making a U-turn after moving south, then changing its course to the north. Due to its slow movement, its effects could be long-lasting in the Sakishima Islands. Also, watch out for high waves, storms, and heavy rains that develop into “extremely strong” forces and can cause thunderstorms and heavy rains in the Sakishima Islands. It will be necessary to pay attention to high waves accompanied by swells on the main island of Okinawa, which is far from the typhoon.
Typhoon No. 10 will approach Kanto on tomorrow 27th
A characteristic of Typhoon No. 10 is that it will approach Japan from Sunday. As of 6:00 on the 26th, it is moving north-northwest near Minamitorishima. Tomorrow, the 27th (Sunday), it is expected to approach the eastern part of Kanto, and after that, it will move from the Sanriku coast to the eastern part of Hokkaido.
This typhoon will not develop much, and the rain clouds of the typhoon itself will not cover eastern or northern Japan. Still, the waves on the sea are likely to be high. Tomorrow the 27th is likely to affect the sea around the Kanto region. It is also the last Sunday in August, so if you plan to enjoy sea leisure, please be careful of high waves accompanied by swells.
Watch out for high waves, stay away from the sea even if the typhoon is far away
When a typhoon approaches, the waves get higher, and near the center of the typhoon, the wave height can exceed 10 meters. In coastal areas, caution is required not only for heavy rain and storms, but also for high waves.
Therefore, when a typhoon is approaching, what you should never do is to get close to the sea. Going out to see the ocean, surfing, or fishing is very dangerous, as you may be swept away by high waves.
Also, even if you are away from the typhoon, you can’t let your guard down. Even though the weather is calm, typhoon swells can reach us, causing high waves to rush in suddenly. Do not approach the sea unnecessarily when a wave warning or wave advisory is issued.
Measures before a typhoon approaches In preparation for high waves and storm surges
In coastal areas, there is a risk of high waves and storm surges due to typhoons, so it is necessary to be prepared while paying attention to the following three points.
First, above all, stay away from coastal areas where there is a risk of high waves and storm surges. Even if you are worried about the state of the sea and boats, please do not go to see them.
Second, check the time of spring tide and the time of high tide. When high waves and storm surges from a typhoon coincide with high tides, there is a risk of serious damage, such as flooding and inundation of roads around the coast.
Third, evacuate (move) while you can act safely. If the sea spray surpasses the seawall facilities and rushes onto the coastal road, there is a risk of flooding and making passage dangerous. Check traffic information such as road closures and speed restrictions frequently and evacuate early.
