Japan weather: Typhoon 25 causes heavy damage as Typhoon 26 approaches
Japan is managing the aftermath of Typhoon 25 while preparing for the approach of Typhoon 26. In Chiba Prefecture, Typhoon 25 has caused significant casualties and property damage, including 8 deaths, 3 missing persons, and over 1,800 damaged homes. Approximately 6,430 households have faced power outages.
Infrastructure recovery is underway but faces challenges. JR East has implemented replacement bus services for several lines, including the Narita Line between Sahara and Choshi, with rail service expected to resume around October 4. However, repairs on the Uchibo Line between Anegasaki and Kisaratsu may take up to three months. In Shisui, a collapsed embankment has blocked drainage, leading to prolonged residential flooding.
Simultaneously, Typhoon 26 is moving toward the Kanto and Tokai regions, with a potential approach around October 1. The typhoon is currently causing severe weather and heavy seas in the Daito Islands. Meteorologists warn that Typhoon 26, combined with an active autumn rain front, could intensify rainfall across eastern Japan.
