The impact of the typhoon is expected to begin at the end of the month
Looking at the forecast for Typhoon No. 6’s course, it is expected to move north-northwest for a while and then head south of Okinawa, but next week it is expected to change its course to west-northwest as it is blocked by the Pacific anticyclone.
The typhoon is expected to develop into a powerful typhoon with a strong wind area as it moves north, and become a strong typhoon in the waters near Okinawa. In Okinawa and Amami, the waves will begin to rise from the weekend, and around the 30th (Sun), the effects of wind and rain may begin to appear. Water accidents are more likely to occur due to high waves accompanied by swells and rip currents, so be sure to check the information before the typhoon approaches.
The typhoon is expected to come closest to Okinawa and Amami around July 31 (Monday) to August 1 (Tuesday). In Okinawa and Amami, there is a risk of severe weather. On the island, even a slight difference in course can have a large impact, so please pay attention to future course information.

Reference Results of simulations of paths calculated by meteorological agencies around the world
Each thin line in this figure represents the simulation result of the course calculated by meteorological agencies around the world. The results (members) obtained in the process of the ensemble forecast method are posted to give an image of the wide range of possible paths.
Comparing these members, we can see that there is a wide range of possible courses, from those moving westward in the South China Sea to those moving northward near Okinawa, and the certainty of the predicted course is low.
Depending on the course, it may affect Okinawa and other parts of Japan, but there is still some error in the forecast. The error is expected to shrink as the days pass, so please pay attention to future information.
