According to a report by Kyodo News Agency, the Japanese meteorological agency predicts that Typhoon "Lan En" will make landfall in Japan from the west on the 15th local time, bringing widespread heavy rainfall.
As of 9:00 pm local time on the 13th, Typhoon "Lan En" is located 300 kilometers southwest of Hachijo Island in the Izu Islands, about 100 kilometers south of Tokyo, and is moving northwest. The Japan Meteorological Agency stated that the pressure in the area is 965 hectopascals, with wind speeds reaching up to 198 kilometers per hour.
According to experts from the Japan Meteorological Agency, "due to the slow movement of the typhoon, its impact may be prolonged." In the Kinki region in western Japan, including Osaka, and the East Sea region around Nagoya in central Japan, the rainfall brought by this typhoon may exceed the usual total rainfall for the entire month of August.
According to reports, it is expected that within 24 hours starting from 18:00 local time on the 14th, the precipitation in the East China Sea region of Japan will reach 400 to 600 millimeters, and the precipitation in the Kinki region may reach 300 to 400 millimeters.
According to the relevant regional passenger railway companies, train services in the affected areas will be suspended or significantly reduced. All Tokaido Shinkansen services between Nagoya Station and Shin Osaka Station will be suspended on the 15th. Japan Airlines announced that 240 flights will be cancelled on the 15th, affecting nearly 25000 people.
According to reports, it is expected that Typhoon "Lan En" will continue to pass north through the Sea of Japan after crossing the main island of Japan, and will approach the northern region of Hokkaido on the 17th.
The Japanese meteorological agency has warned that residents should be alert to mudslides and river flooding due to widespread heavy rainfall from west to east on the 16th.
