The extremely powerful Typhoon No. 24 is expected to bring violent winds to an extensive area as it moves quickly across the Japanese archipelago.
Winds blow in a counterclockwise direction toward the typhoon’s low-pressure center. Even if the wind blowing into the typhoon itself is the same speed in every direction, it feels different on the ground depending on the typhoon’s movement. Winds accelerate on the right side of the typhoon’s path, while weakening on the left side.
The typhoon is predicted to be carried by westerly winds and head northeast at a speed of 70 to 80 kph.
Violent winds are expected to hit an area stretching from the Kii Peninsula to the Pacific coast of eastern Japan, located on the right side of the predicted path.
When strong winds blow toward shore from the sea, they will likely cause high waves.
Typhoon No. 24 is no longer big but it is still a very strong one. Currently, It is heading north on the sea in the south of Miyazaki City. After this, it may increase the speed and land in Shikoku and Kinki from evening tonight. It is predicted that it will cross the Japanese archipelago the next morning. This typhoon needs vigilance especially for wind storms. The expected maximum instantaneous wind speed is 60 meters in Shikoku, Kinki, Tokai etc., 50 meters in Kanto Koshin, there is a fear that this could be recorded as one of the strongest wind storm.
Please be careful enough and stay alert guys.
