Japan’s weather agency warns of heavy downpours in Tokyo, six other prefectures

The Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a warning of heavy downpours in Tokyo and six additional prefectures through Monday, as a combination of a typhoon and a seasonal rain front is forecast to bring torrential rain in a short period. The regions affected include Saitama, Kanagawa, Chiba, Shizuoka, Aichi, and Mie, with the weather agency advising residents to remain vigilant.

Potential risks such as landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, and swollen rivers are being monitored in eastern Japan due to the unstable atmospheric conditions and the influence of warm, moist air from Typhoon Krovanh.
