On Monday the 20th, rain clouds are developing on the Sea of Japan side of Honshu. As of 11 a.m., there are places in Akita, Toyama, and Ishikawa prefectures where heavy rain warnings have been issued. Please be on alert for landslides until the evening.
“Heavy rain warning” and “heavy rain advisory” are being announced for Tohoku and Hokuriku
A cold front is passing near Honshu on Monday the 20th. Looking at the rain cloud radar, we can see that rain clouds are covering the Sea of Japan side of Honshu, such as the Sea of Japan side of Tohoku and Hokuriku, and some of the rain clouds are well-developed.
Rainfall has already increased on the Sea of Japan side of Tohoku and Hokuriku, and as of 11:00 a.m., heavy rain warnings have been issued for Akita, Toyama, and Ishikawa prefectures. Vigilance against landslides is required until noon in Ishikawa Prefecture and until evening in Akita and Toyama Prefectures.
In addition, a “heavy rain advisory” has been issued for a wide area of Tohoku and Hokuriku. Rain is likely to fall until the evening, and there may be some places where the amount of rain will increase further.
Even if the rain eases, please stay away from the slopes.
What is the harbinger of landslides?
When a landslide occurs due to heavy rain, there are certain phenomena that can be a precursor. Please remember this in case of an emergency.
The first is the formation of cracks in the cliff or ground.
Second, you can hear the sound of wood splitting, stones hitting each other, and the smell of earth.
The third problem is that water from wells, rivers, and springs becomes cloudy. If the spring water stops flowing, it is also one of the harbingers.
Fourth, water gushes out from cliffs and slopes.
Other symptoms include pebbles falling apart, the ground rumbling or mountains rumbling, river levels dropping even though it continues to rain, and trees leaning. At times like this, the risk of landslides increases. Immediately call out to those around you and evacuate to a safe place.
