May 27, 2023 07:15
Typhoon No. 2 will become very strong from the 29th (Monday) and may approach the Okinawa region. The movement of the typhoon will slow down, and there is a fear that the impact will last longer in Okinawa. In addition, next week the front will extend to the vicinity of Honshu, and the warm and moist air around the typhoon will flow in, so there is a possibility that the front will become more active. There is a risk of heavy rain from Kyushu to Kanto and Koshin, so vigilance is required.
Path and Characteristics of Typhoon No.2
As of 6:00 on the 27th (Saturday), a violent typhoon No. 2 is moving westward in the east of the Philippines. Typhoon No. 2 will change its course to the north on Monday, 29th, and although it will lose some strength, it will be extremely strong, and there is a risk that it will approach the Okinawa region with a strong wind area.
After that, the typhoon will become strong in the south of Okinawa, but it will move slowly, so the impact of the typhoon may be prolonged in Okinawa.
The forecast for the course and speed of the typhoon after June 1st (Thursday) is still unclear, but prediction models from overseas and elsewhere indicate that the typhoon may stray near the Nansei Islands or change course to the east.
However, even if the typhoon is far away, the front will remain stationary near Honshu next week, so warm and moist air around the typhoon will flow in, causing heavy rain.
The Okinawa region may be affected for a long time.
Waves are the first to be affected by the approach of a typhoon. The coastal waters of the Okinawa region are expected to become stormy from the 27th (Saturday) with swells, and from the 28th (Sunday), it will be a big storm centered on the Sakishima Islands such as Miyakojima and Ishigakijima. Beware of high waves with swells. Also, from the 28th (Sunday), east or northeast winds are expected to strengthen. Depending on the course of the typhoon, there is a risk of strong winds in the Sakishima Islands from the 30th (Tuesday). The maximum wind speed (maximum instantaneous wind speed) expected on the 28th (Sunday) is an easterly wind of 15 meters (25 meters) in the Daitojima region and the Sakishima Islands. Prepare for a typhoon as soon as possible, such as storing items that are easily blown away indoors and shopping for groceries.
In the coastal waters of the Amami region, it will become stormy from the 27th (Saturday), and it will become severe from around the 29th (Monday). Please stay away from the coast.
Front stays on Honshu, be cautious even if the typhoon is far away
From around the 29th (Monday), the front will extend to the vicinity of Honshu. Even if the typhoon is still far away, the moist air around the typhoon may flow in and increase the activity of the front.
From around the 29th (Monday) to the 30th (Tuesday), there is a possibility that there will be a lot of rain mainly in the Hokuriku region. From around the 31st (Wednesday), it will continue to rain from Kyushu to Kanto Koshin, and there is a risk of heavy rain.
It is necessary to pay attention to the latest typhoon information and weather information without letting your guard down even if the typhoon is far away.
Measures before a typhoon approaches
The scary thing about typhoon storms is that when it hits, you can’t move. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm and prepare for three points in advance against storms.
First, clean out rain gutters and gutters to improve drainage. If the gutters are clogged with fallen leaves, etc. and the water does not flow, the roads will be flooded.
Second, take measures such as firmly fixing outdoor items that are easily blown away (clothing poles, potted plants, trash cans, etc.) or putting them indoors. At shops, etc., please check to make sure that signs are not blown away or vending machines are knocked over.
The third item was blown away by the storm, so lock the windows and close the rain shutters if you have any, so that the window glass doesn’t break. If you put packing tape on the window glass, it will be able to withstand the wind pressure. If the glass breaks, keep the curtains closed to prevent splinters from scattering.
