Typhoon No. 11 is expected to approach the Okinawa region with strong force from tomorrow 31st to around September 2nd. Okinawa and Amami need to be vigilant against high waves from tomorrow 31st. Also, in Okinawa, there is a possibility that very strong winds will gradually blow. Please be ready by tomorrow morning.
From tomorrow 31st to September 2nd Strong forces approach Okinawa
Typhoon No. 11 was in the sea near Okinotorishima Island at 15:00 on the 30th, and was moving west-northwest at a speed of about 15 kilometers per hour. The central pressure is 990 hectopascals, the maximum wind speed near the center is 30 meters, the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 40 meters, and the wind speed is over 25 meters within a 55 km radius from the center.
It is expected to move northwest as it develops, and approach the Okinawa region with strong force from tomorrow 31st to around September 2nd.
Due to the approach of the typhoon, it is necessary to be vigilant against high waves from the morning of the 31st in the sea and coastal areas of Okinawa and Amami. Also, as the typhoon approaches Okinawa, the weather will gradually become very stormy. A very strong wind is blowing, and it looks like it’s going to rain sideways at night. It is dangerous at night, so please refrain from going out as much as possible.
If possible, please prepare for the typhoon early today on the 30th or tomorrow on the 31st. Since it coincides with the period of spring tide, there is also a risk of a high tide of warning level. Please check the information frequently, such as the future course and impact.

Typhoon No. 12 is expected to approach the Ogasawara Islands
A new tropical cyclone near the Truk Islands is expected to develop into a typhoon. If it occurs, it will be Typhoon No. 12.
It is expected to move northwards, and will move northwest in the sea near Ogasawara from September 2nd to 3rd.
So far, it is not expected to develop, but it may affect the weather in Japan from around the weekend. The Pacific coast is likely to have high waves over a wide area. The forecast circle is still large, and the course has not yet been determined, so please check the latest information frequently.
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.
Measures before a typhoon approaches Prepare for a storm
The scary thing about typhoon storms is that when it hits, you can’t move. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm and prepare for three points in advance against storms.
First, clean out rain gutters and gutters to improve drainage. If the gutters are clogged with fallen leaves, etc. and the water does not flow, the roads will be flooded.
Second, take measures such as firmly fixing outdoor items that are easily blown away (clothing poles, potted plants, trash cans, etc.) or putting them indoors. At shops, etc., please check to make sure that signs are not blown away or vending machines are knocked over.
The third item was blown away by the storm, so lock the windows and close the shutters if there are any to prevent the glass from breaking. If you put packing tape on the window glass, it will be able to withstand the wind pressure. If the glass breaks, keep the curtains closed to prevent splinters from scattering.
