Size class //
Strength class //
Travel West 25 km/h
Central pressure 996 hPa
Maximum wind speed 20 m/s (near center)
Maximum instantaneous wind speed 30 m/s
Typhoon No. 11 is expected to gradually intensify as it travels through areas with high sea surface temperature and small vertical wind shear (differences in wind direction and speed above the sea surface). The maximum wind speed near the center will reach 25m/s on Thursday, September 31, the day after tomorrow, and a strong wind area is expected on Friday, September 1, when it approaches Okinawa.
In Okinawa, wind and rain are expected to intensify due to the approach of the typhoon, and stormy weather is expected. Early typhoon countermeasures are required. Depending on the course, moist warm air may flow into the Pacific side of western Japan, causing localized heavy rain.

Possible paths are still predictable
Since the Pacific High is strengthening from the east of Japan, most of the members tend to move northwest. After that, there are quite a wide range of routes, such as those heading for the East China Sea through Okinawa, those heading for the Chinese continent, those aiming for the Sea of Japan, and those heading south such as Taiwan instead of Okinawa. Masu.
Not only the course, but also the timing and power predictions are in a situation where the error is quite large. The error is expected to shrink as the days go by, so please pay attention to future information.

Typhoon No. 9 Sakishima Islands, watch out for high waves and swells
Central location East of the Philippines
Size class //
Strength class Very strong
move northwest slowly
Central pressure 955 hPa
Maximum wind speed 45 m/s (near center)
Maximum instantaneous wind speed 60 m/s
Typhoon No. 9 is moving slowly northwest over the seas east of the Philippines. It is expected to move westward and pass south of Taiwan while maintaining a very strong intensity. The tsunami will pass far away from the Sakishima Islands, so it is unlikely to have a direct impact.
However, since it is a very strong force, the waves will be high on the sea, and we need to be careful of high waves and swells after tomorrow, the 30th (Wednesday).
Typhoon No. 10 will move away from Japan in the future
Central location East of Japan
Size class //
Strength class //
Moving East 40 km/h

Typhoon No. 10 is expected to move eastward over the eastern seas of Japan and move further away from the Japanese archipelago. It is expected to turn into an extratropical cyclone tonight.
In the coastal areas of Hokkaido and Tohoku, the effects of high waves such as swells remain after the typhoon leaves, so please be careful.

The fourth typhoon occurred in August this year
The average number of typhoons in August is 5.7, which is the time of the year with the most typhoons. The number of typhoons this year is slightly lower than usual, but Weathernews forecasts that there will be at least 10 more typhoons by the end of the year.
As autumn approaches, it is expected that the number of typhoons that affect the Honshu area will increase, so please prepare for typhoons and heavy rains in preparation for the coming season.
A new typhoon No. 11 occurs
It is expected to move westward and approach the vicinity of Okinawa. At 9:00 on September 1st (Friday), the center is in the south of Okinawa, the central pressure is 980hPa, and the maximum wind speed near the center is expected to be 30m/s.
Depending on its course after that, it may have an impact on Japan, but there is still an error in the forecast. The error is expected to shrink as the days go by, so please pay attention to future information.
