Japan weather alerts: Heavy rain and landslide warnings issued across multiple regions
Multiple regions across Japan are facing severe weather conditions due to heavy rainfall and tropical depressions. In Osaka Prefecture, authorities have issued warnings for potential linear precipitation zones, with risks of landslides and flooding. Extremely heavy rain of up to 60 mm per hour is expected in some areas.
In Kagawa Prefecture, Level 4 landslide disaster danger warnings have been issued for several municipalities, including Marugame, Zentsuji, Kotohira, and Manno. Meanwhile, the Hokuriku region is under alert for unstable atmospheric conditions that could lead to vessel accidents, such as the sinking of small boats, due to intense rain and wind.
In the Kanto region, rain is expected to expand throughout the afternoon, potentially causing heavy downpours during the evening commute. Residents in the Izu Islands and Boso Peninsula are advised to remain vigilant against landslides following recent record-breaking rainfall. In Yamagata, weather patterns indicate continued rain in several districts through the night.
