Typhoon Dujuan is set to approach the East coast of Japan on Monday, bringing with it heavy rain, strong winds and a risk of landslides, the Japan Meteorological Agency has warned. The typhoon is expected to pass near the Boso Peninsula in Chiba Prefecture, east of Tokyo, in the evening to late Monday. Downpours from linear rainbands are also forecast for the Kanto-Koshin region in the east and the Tokai region of Central Japan.
Aichi-Nagoya, the venue for the Asian Games, is bracing for the potential impact of the typhoon. More than 17,000 athletes and officials have already arrived in the city. The weather office predicts that the typhoon could bring heavy rain through Tuesday in eastern and northeastern Japan, with a linear rainband potentially forming over Shizuoka Prefecture and the Izu Islands.
In a proactive move, organisers have postponed the equestrian eventing competition until Tuesday. Downpours from the typhoon could disrupt transportation, leading to the closure of parts of highways during the five-day holiday period.
