In Hiroshima Prefecture, we need to be vigilant for heavy rain throughout the day. A lull is expected tomorrow, but then intermittent rain is expected through the first half of next week.

Rain peaks towards dawn

From Weather News App

Rain clouds develop due to the influence of the moist air that flows toward the seasonal rain front, and the northern Kyushu region, including Yamaguchi Prefecture, experiences a peak of extremely heavy rain in the morning.

Even following the rain subsides, the water level of the river is likely to rise, so please do not go check the river even if you are worried regarding the situation.

In Oita Prefecture, a linear rainfall zone has been analyzed, and it rains torrentially at 110mm per hour in many places. Intermittent heavy rain is possible this morning.

Even if the rain subsides, the water level will continue to be high for several hours or more, so please do not go to see it even if you are concerned regarding the situation. In addition, tributary rivers may not be able to drain water and flooding may occur, so vigilance is required even in places far from large rivers.

If you live in an area where flooding is expected, please evacuate to a safe place without waiting for level 5 according to evacuation orders from local governments. If you are unsure of the safety of your route to an evacuation shelter, secure yourself on the upper floors of your home away from the slope.
