Stormy weather continues in Kyushu due to Typhoon No. 6, but we also need to be vigilant about the movement of Typhoon No. 7. Typhoon No. 7 is likely to approach the Ogasawara Islands from the 10th to the 12th tomorrow with strong winds. Around the 14th, there is a fear of a strong wind approaching from eastern Japan to western Japan with strong winds. Obon also affects traffic.

Typhoon No. 7 Dangerous Course Hits Obon in Honshu?

Due to the slow-moving typhoon No. 6 on the 9th, the rain and wind intensified mainly in the southern part of Kyushu, and the weather continued to be very stormy.

And we also need to be vigilant about the movement of Typhoon No.
Typhoon No. 7 is in the sea near Ogasawara today at 3:00 pm on the 9th and is slowly moving west.

It is expected to become a “strong” force on the 11th, and will continue to move north after that.
It is becoming more likely that the U-turn rush of Obon will be greatly affected. Please check the latest information and make a reasonable action plan.

Before the typhoon approaches, the waves of the sea will be high, and it is expected to have an impact. Due to the effects of Typhoon No. 6, which is already far away, the waves are getting higher with swells in Sagami Bay and other areas in the Kanto region. It’s the Obon season, but please do not push yourself too hard and be careful and vigilant to avoid accidents.

Typhoon No. 7 passes through a route with high sea surface temperature, fears it will intensify and move northward

This summer has been a record heat, with the highest number of extremely hot days in central Tokyo set to break the annual record. There weren’t many.
The expected sea surface temperature of Typhoon No. 7 is around 30 degrees Celsius, and it is possible that it will develop more than expected and approach Honshu.

Since it coincides with the Obon holiday, many people are moving to their hometowns and traveling, but it seems that there will be a big impact on transportation. Please pay attention to the latest information on future typhoons and prepare early.

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 In preparation for heavy rain

There are concerns about heavy rain as the typhoon approaches, but there are three points to prepare in advance.

First, keep your gutters, gutters, and gutters clean and well-drained in case of flooding. Make sure it is not clogged with gravel, fallen leaves, garbage, etc.

Second, in order to prevent damage from flooding, it is a good idea to move household goods, electrical appliances, food items, etc. to high places or higher than the second floor as much as possible. You can reduce the damage by simply moving the items in the lower shelf of the closet to the upper shelf.

Third, unplug the power supply. If the power outlet is submerged in water, there is a risk of electric leakage, short circuit, or electric shock.

In any case, instead of preparing after the typhoon is approaching, please check the typhoon information and take measures early.
