Japanese weather officials are urging residents of Hachijo Island in Tokyo’s Izu Islands to be on high alert for mudslides.<\/p>\n
Heavy rain is also expected along the Pacific coast from western to northeastern Japan.<\/p>\n
Residents are advised to check the latest weather and traffic information, evacuate early from places at risk of disaster, and stay away from dangerous places such as flooded roads.<\/p>\n
The Japan Meteorological Agency said a series of rain clouds developed over the Izu Islands.<\/p>\n
Hachijo Island recorded 291 millimeters of rainfall during the 12-hour period through 11 a.m. on Sunday, reaching nearly 80 percent of the average rainfall for the entire month of September.<\/p>\n
People on the Izu Islands are advised to be on high alert as bands of heavy rain clouds could form through dawn on Monday.<\/p>\n
The agency also announced that bands of heavy rain clouds could develop in the southern Kanto and Tokai regions from Sunday night through Monday, dramatically raising the risk of a heavy rain disaster.<\/p>\n
The autumn rain front and the Tropical Storm Krovanh are expected to bring heavy rain to a wide range of regions along the Pacific coast from western to northeastern Japan. The agency said people should be on the alert for heavy rain through Thursday.<\/p>\n
Heavy rain could have a major impact during the hours when people are returning home on Sunday and commuting to work or school on Monday morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Japanese weather officials are urging residents of Hachijo Island in Tokyo’s Izu Islands to be on high alert…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":86952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[72,259,8,262,173,261,265,266,267,264,258,263,268,260,257],"class_list":["post-86951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-japan","tag-asia","tag-biz","tag-japan","tag-japan-broadcasting-corporation","tag-news","tag-nhk","tag-nhk-world","tag-nhk-world-premium","tag-nhk-world-tv","tag-nhkworld","tag-nuclear","tag-public-broadcaster","tag-radio-japan","tag-tech","tag-world"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=86951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/86952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=86951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=86951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=86951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
