Rain Alert Forecast

Typhoon No. 25 is expected to develop faster than initially predicted and move north directly over the Ogasawara Islands, likely advancing the estimated arrival time in Honshu by nearly a day. Before the main storm hits, the autumn rain front, fueled by southerly winds, is expected to become active, broadening the area of heavy rainfall. Expect stormy weather shortly after the start of the Silver Week holiday. Temperatures are trending downwards. While the Japan Meteorological Agency is promoting it as a "first autumn feel," some regions will experience temperatures around mid-October, so it's advisable to prepare outerwear suitable for late autumn to early winter. The two-week forecast still predicts mid-summer days, indicating that summer clothing will still be needed. Although the season is transitioning to autumn, preparedness for lingering heat is also important. With insufficient sunshine, dropping temperatures, and potential for intensifying rain, severe weather is anticipated. The forecast for stormy weather in Honshu begins early next week, so remember that it's never too early to start preparing.
