Japan: Typhoon Dujuan sparks flood, landslide warnings
At least 275 flights have been canceled in Japan, which is in the middle of a five-day holiday. The storm could dump record levels of rain on the country.
Japan is bracing for the impact of Typhoon Dujuan, which is expected to pass close to the Tokyo metropolitan area later on Monday. The storm has already triggered flood and landslide warnings, prompting the cancellation of hundreds of flights and leading to power outages for over 4,000 households in Chiba. The Japan Meteorological Agency has cautioned that weather conditions could worsen rapidly, with the total rainfall through Tuesday potentially exceeding the average monthly rainfall for September, resulting in record-breaking heavy rain.
Authorities have also warned of a possibility of linear rain bands forming over central Japan and the Kanto region, which could raise the risk of rain-related disasters like flash floods and landslides.
