Tokio. Japan’s Meteorological Agency has warned of heavy rainfall in seven regions including the capital Tokyo until Monday. The agency stated that there is a possibility of excessive rainfall in various parts of eastern Japan due to the combined effect of a typhoon and a seasonal rain system.
According to the Meteorological Agency, residents of Tokyo, Saitama, Kanagawa, Chiba, Shizuoka, Aichi, and Mie have been urged to take special precautions. It is predicted that a linear rainband capable of causing excessive rainfall in a short period will develop.
Due to such a rain system, a large amount of water can fall in a short time, and local residents have been urged to follow weather warnings and administrative instructions. The Meteorological Agency has warned of the risk of landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, and rising river water levels in some parts of eastern Japan.
According to the agency, a seasonal rain system has been active in the south of Japan for a long time. Meanwhile, warm and humid winds from Typhoon Crovanh have further destabilized the atmosphere.
The seasonal rain system is expected to move northward around Monday. During this time, there is a possibility of heavy rainfall in various parts of eastern Japan, and residents have been advised to be alert to the risks of floods, landslides, and rising river flows.
