Typhoon No. 24 Raise Flood Risk Across Japan
Western and eastern Japan face a prolonged risk of heavy rain into next week as Typhoon No. 24, a tropical depression and the autumn rain front combine to bring increasingly unstable weather across a wide area, with the typhoon currently located over waters northwest of Okinawa's main island after weakening considerably and losing much of its clearly defined circulation.

Typhoon No. 24 has raised flood risks across Japan as it combines with an autumn rain front to create unstable weather conditions. The typhoon, currently located over waters northwest of Okinawa, is expected to move south on September 6 before turning east. From September 7, it is forecast to turn north and trace a looping path around Okinawa, eventually weakening into a tropical depression near Kyushu and western Japan by September 9.
High waves remain a concern around the Nansei Islands, and authorities are advising people to avoid marine leisure activities. Rainfall is expected to become substantial over the 48 hours covering September 6 and 7, with the Kanto region likely to receive the heaviest rain.
