On August 30, two typhoons east of Japan were moving northward, with Typhoon No. 23 overtaking Typhoon No. 22. Neither storm is expected to have a direct impact on Japan. Typhoon No. 23 was located northeast of No. 22 and was expected to continue moving northward before becoming an extratropical cyclone south of the Aleutian Islands by September 1.
Typhoon No. 22, with a central atmospheric pressure of 996 hectopascals, was forecast to weaken into a tropical depression by September 2. Both typhoons were expected to weaken as they moved into cooler waters. Sea surface temperatures are lower farther north of the storms, contributing to their expected weakening. Neither typhoon posed a direct threat to Japan.
