Very heavy rain due to “linear rain belt” in Fukuoka Prefecture

At 3:09 am on the 10th, Fukuoka Prefecture announced “Information on significant heavy rain”. Due to the inflow of warm and moist air toward the baiu front, rain clouds develop locally in Fukuoka Prefecture, and very heavy rain continues to fall in the same place due to the “linear precipitation belt”. The risk of disasters caused by life-threatening landslides and floods is increasing rapidly.

In Fukuoka Prefecture, localized heavy rain with thunder is expected to fall intermittently until tomorrow 11th. Please be vigilant against landslide disasters.

What is a “linear rain belt”?

A “linear rain zone” is an area of ​​very strong rain that is created when cumulonimbus clouds (developed rain clouds) occur linearly one after another and pass and stagnate in almost the same place.

Each cumulonimbus cloud disappears immediately when it starts to rain, but a “linear rain belt” is a long cumulonimbus cloud because the cumulonimbus clouds that occur one after another pass and stay in the same place for several hours. It rains heavily for hours. If a “linear rain belt” occurs, it may cause torrential rain, which can cause major disasters.

Strict vigilance against landslides and river flooding

Check the information on evacuation from the local government and try to ensure safety early. If it is already dangerous to evacuate, seek shelter in your home as high up as possible, away from cliffs and rivers.

Landslide disasters may occur even after the rain has abated or stopped. Signs of landslide disasters include cracks on slopes, strange sounds and smells, stoppage of spring water, and spurts of muddy water. If you see any of these signs, get off the slopes immediately.
