[Double typhoon] Typhoon No. 13: Decrease in speed, impact will be prolonged Typhoon No. 15: Possibility of approaching and making landfall on Honshu next week (Commentary: Weather forecaster Atsuko Miyake)

2026/08/07 13:55

There are currently two typhoons near Japan, making it a double typhoon.
Typhoon No. 13 is now approaching Okinawa and Amami.



Let's start by looking at the information on Typhoon No.13.
Typhoon No. 13 is now a large and powerful force.
It is located near Okinoerabu Island and is moving toward the west at a speed of 25 km/h.

This Typhoon No. 13 is expected to move westward, but its characteristic is that its speed will gradually slow down.
The moving speed will gradually slow down to 15km and then 10km until tomorrow, the 8th (Saturday).
For this reason, there is a risk that the effects of strong winds, high waves, and heavy rain will continue for a long time in the Okinawa and Amami regions.



is the rain and wind forecast.
In the Okinawa and Amami regions, active swirling rain clouds associated with typhoons can be seen.
There are yellow and red signs indicating that there is a risk of very heavy rain of 50 to 70 mm per hour.

And the wind is getting stronger, with winds exceeding 50 meters high at times, and it seems like there will be moments when the wind blows furiously.
Also, in areas far away from the typhoon, the southern part of Kyushu, especially around Miyazaki Prefecture,
the moist air around the typhoon will continue to flow in, and there is a risk that rain will continue in similar areas.

Furthermore, a linear precipitation band is likely to form in some places tonight.
There is a possibility that a linear precipitation band will occur in the Amami region late tonight and in the Okinawa region into tomorrow (Saturday).
If a linear precipitation band occurs, the risk of heavy rain disasters will increase at once, so please be careful about how the rain will fall from now until tomorrow.



The typhoon will slow down into tomorrow (Saturday), so the effects of rain and wind are likely to continue for a long time.
There is a risk that active rain clouds will continue to hang over Okinawa and Amami into the morning of tomorrow (Saturday).

And the windy conditions are likely to continue.
By the evening of tomorrow (Saturday), active rain clouds are expected to finally leave the Amami and Okinawa regions.
However, the windy conditions are likely to continue even after that.



Now, let's take a look at the expected amount of rain and the strength of the wind. First is the strength of the wind.
In southern Kyushu, winds today are expected to reach 35 meters, 55 meters in the Amami region, and 60 meters in the Okinawa region.
In Okinawa and the Amami region, the wind is likely to be strong enough to overturn a truck.

Even into tomorrow (Saturday), winds are expected to reach 40 meters in the Amami region and 50 meters in the Okinawa region.
Very strong winds are blowing, making outdoor activities extremely dangerous.

In the Okinawa region, strong winds are likely to continue into the 9th (Sunday).

Also, looking at the rain forecast, it is expected to continue raining tomorrow (Saturday) and the day after (Sunday) in southern Kyushu.
Total rainfall is expected to reach 300mm.
Also, more than 300mm of rain is expected in the Okinawa region tomorrow and the day after.



We have summarized the points to be aware of in each region regarding Typhoon No. 13, which is expected to move slowly in the future.

Okinawa and Amami regions are already experiencing heavy rain.
It is dangerous to evacuate after the weather becomes rough.
Make sure to protect yourself in sturdy buildings.

Also, in Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures, it will continue to rain in the same places tomorrow and the day after.
Please be extremely cautious of landslides, rising water levels, and flooding of rivers.

And in Kumamoto Prefecture, where there was a big earthquake the other day, the rain and wind sometimes get stronger.
If you are currently placing blue tarpaulin on your roof, please be careful not to let it blow away.
Also, those who are working on the roof should be very careful not to fall down due to strong winds.



Finally, let's take a look at information on Typhoon No.15.
Typhoon No.15 has now become a large typhoon.
It is characterized by an even wider range of strong winds than Typhoon No. 13.
After this, it will not develop much, but it will move westward and there is a possibility that it will approach or make landfall from eastern Japan to northern Japan around Tuesday to Wednesday next week.

The forecast circle is still quite large, so please continue to pay close attention to the latest information.



Let's take a look at the weather in various places.
Okinawa and Amami will continue to experience heavy rain tomorrow (Saturday) and the day after (Sunday) due to the typhoon.
Please be careful of strong winds, high waves, and heavy rain in Okinawa and Amami.

Weather for today, the 7th (Friday): Okinawa is on alert for stormy weather; on the Pacific side, localized heavy rain is on alert

2026/08/07 06:19

Typhoon No. 13 is expected to approach Okinawa/Amami today, the 7th (Friday). Strict vigilance is required due to heavy rain, strong winds, and high waves. From northern Japan to western Japan, it will be sunny in many places, especially on the Sea of Japan side, but the sky on the Pacific side is likely to be more variable due to the humid air.



Large and strong Typhoon No. 13 is expected to approach the Nansei Islands with strong force. There is a risk of severe stormy weather in Okinawa and Amami. Strict vigilance is required as there is a risk of damage from heavy rain, strong winds, and high waves. Also, please be careful as the typhoon moves slowly and the effects may be prolonged.

From western Japan to northern Japan, there will be many sunny places, especially on the Sea of Japan side. Temperatures are rising, and today is expected to be an extremely hot day in many places. Please be wary of heat stroke as there are places where the temperature is dangerously high, exceeding body temperature with 39 degrees Celsius expected in Tottori City and 38 degrees Celsius in Sasebo City and Fukui City.

The sky is prone to clouds due to the influence of humid air from western Japan to the Pacific side of eastern Japan. Particularly on the Pacific side of western Japan, there is a risk of locally heavy rain and thunderstorms, so caution should be taken to avoid flooding of low-lying areas and rising river levels.
Although there are sunny spells in the Kanto region, there is a possibility of showers in places, so it is best to bring a foldable umbrella when going out.

Large and strong Typhoon No. 13 approaches the Nansei Islands. Linear rain bands may occur in Okinawa and Amami. Strict vigilance is in place for strong winds and landslides through tomorrow 8th.

Record-breaking heat continues in western Japan; heavy rains in Tohoku and Hokuriku at the end of the rainy season (weather summary July 26, 2026 - August 1, 2026)

2026/08/06 18:44

This is a summary of the weather for this period (July 26th to August 1st, 2026).

#Summary of the weather for this period (July 26th to August 1st)
The average temperature was the hottest on record, mainly in western Japan, which was covered by an anticyclone, and some locations recorded extremely hot days. In northern Japan and Hokuriku, where there were many cloudy and rainy days due to the seasonal rain front, temperatures tended to be below normal.

Precipitation exceeded normal levels mainly in Tohoku and Hokuriku, which were susceptible to the effects of the seasonal rain front, and some places in Hokuriku experienced heavy rains during the period, breaking the highest in recorded history. On the other hand, western Japan was covered in high pressure for many days throughout the period, so there were many places where the total precipitation during the period was 0 mm.

Sunshine hours tended to exceed normal levels, with many sunny days in western Japan, which is covered by an anticyclone. Northern Japan and Hokuriku, which were susceptible to the effects of the rainy season front and humid air, tended to have many cloudy and rainy days, with temperatures well below normal.



[About the weather during this period]
#Characteristics of pressure distribution
On the 26th, the seasonal rain front stalled from the Sea of Japan to Hokuriku and Tohoku. A low pressure system formed just north of the front. On the 27th, the center of the high pressure system was almost stationary near the Chishima Islands. A front is stationary from the eastern seaboard of Japan to the area off the coast of Tokaido, and a low-pressure system above the front moves eastward east of Kanto. Typhoon No. 13 occurred near the Midway Islands. On the 28th, the center of high pressure became stationary east of the Kuril Islands. The front and the low pressure system gradually left the vicinity of Japan. A low-pressure system moved eastward across the Sea of Japan and became obscured on the 29th. A low-pressure front moved over the sea east of Japan, and a low-pressure system near Primorye approached northern Japan. On the 30th, the low pressure system near northern Japan continued to move south, and the low pressure system above the front left the area near Japan. On the 31st, a front became clear from the center of the low-pressure system moving over the continent, and the front approached the Tohoku region.On the 1st, a new low-pressure system formed near the Sea of Japan on the front and moved toward the Tohoku region. Typhoon No. 13 was very strong and moved westward near Minamitorishima. During this period, western Japan was widely covered by the Pacific anticyclone.

#Precipitation
On the 26th, rain clouds developed around Tohoku, Hokuriku, and Kanto due to the influence of moist air flowing near the front. Heavy rain of 90.5mm per hour was observed in Nanto Takamiya, Nanto City, Toyama Prefecture. On the 27th, rain clouds developed due to rising temperatures and humid air during the day, and heavy rain was observed in Haruno, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Unazuki, Kurobe City, Toyama Prefecture, and other areas. On the 28th, rain fell in Tohoku, Hokuriku, and other areas due to the effects of low atmospheric pressure in the upper atmosphere, cold air, and humid air, and extremely heavy rain of 63.0 mm per hour was observed in Tonami City, Toyama Prefecture. On the 29th, rain clouds developed over the Izu Islands near the front, and heavy rain was observed on Hachijo Island. Rain clouds have developed in inland areas of western and eastern Japan, with heavy rain occurring in Aoya, Tottori City, Tottori Prefecture. On the 30th, it rained mainly in northern Japan and Hokuriku, where there was a trough in atmospheric pressure, and extremely heavy rain of 53.5 mm per hour occurred in Obanazawa, Yamagata Prefecture. On the 31st, due to the influence of a front extending from the continent, heavy rain was observed in Muramatsu, Gosen City, and Miyayokami, Kamo City, Niigata Prefecture. On the 1st, the front continued to stay near Tohoku, bringing rain mainly to Tohoku and Hokuriku. In Tohoku, extremely heavy rain of over 50mm per hour was observed in places such as Kanayama-cho and Mamurogawa-cho in Yamagata Prefecture.

#Temperature
During the period, the center of the high pressure system was mostly located in the East China Sea, resulting in record-breaking heat mainly in western Japan. On the 26th, although there were no particularly hot spots, it was extremely hot at 39.4c in Nakamura, Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture. On the 27th, the temperature reached 40.0c in Hita City, Oita Prefecture, which was an extremely hot day, 39.8c in Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and 39.1c in Akiota Town, Hiroshima Prefecture. On the 28th, Saga, Kuroshio Town, Kochi Prefecture, recorded a record high of 40.7 degrees Celsius, making it an extremely hot day. On the 29th, strong sunlight hit western and eastern Japan, making it extremely hot. It was an extremely hot day in Miyazaki, with the temperature rising to 38.8c. On the 30th, the severe heat continued from the Kanto region to the west. Temperatures along the Sea of Japan coast from Hokkaido to Niigata fell below normal due to the rain. On the 31st, it became dangerously hot mainly on the Pacific side, with a temperature of 39.6 C observed in Kamikitayama Village, Nara Prefecture, setting the highest temperature ever recorded. On the 1st, western and eastern Japan were still experiencing severe heat, with a temperature of 39.7 degrees Celsius recorded in Tenryu, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. In Tokyo, the temperature rose to 36.5 degrees Celsius, making it the fourth consecutive day of extreme heat.

1-month forecast Western Japan continues to experience intense heat; Tohoku and Kanto regions experience calmer summer heat during the Obon holiday

2026/08/06 17:42

On the 6th (Thursday), the Japan Meteorological Agency announced the latest one-month forecast, which shows the weather outlook for the next month.



The average sea level pressure for the next month is expected to be lower than normal from the East China Sea to the south of Japan, and high pressure areas are expected from north China to the seas near the Kuril Islands.
For this reason, it is expected that there will be periods when the Sea of Japan side is likely to be covered by high pressure. Okinawa/Amami will be affected by typhoons at the beginning of the period.
Temperatures around 1,500 meters above the ground are higher than normal, especially in northern Japan, and the whole country is expected to be covered in warm air.



The average temperature over the next month is expected to be lower than normal, mainly in eastern Japan, from around the 8th to the 14th. In the Pacific Ocean side of the southern Tohoku region and the Kanto region, the intense heat will subside somewhat during the Obon holiday.



However, temperatures will tend to be higher than normal from the middle of August to the end of August. On the 6th (Thursday), the Japan Meteorological Agency announced an ``early weather advisory'' stating that the average temperature for five days starting around the 14th will be higher than normal in areas from Hokuriku to northern Kyushu.
Western Japan will experience higher than normal temperatures during this period, and the severe heat is likely to continue. In some places, the temperature could reach dangerously high, approaching 40 degrees Celsius. To avoid getting heatstroke, please continue to take precautions to prevent heatstroke on a daily basis.

From now on, areas on the Pacific coast are likely to be affected by humid air, and precipitation is expected to be at normal levels. On the Sea of Japan side, northern Japan, Hokuriku, and western Japan are likely to be covered by high-pressure systems, and precipitation will be at or below normal.

Heavy rain is expected in Okinawa/Amami due to Typhoon No. 13. As the typhoon moves slowly, the effects may last for a long time, so please be extremely cautious of landslides caused by heavy rain, flooding of low-lying areas, and rising and flooding rivers.
After that, even after Typhoon No. 13 leaves, the area is expected to be susceptible to the effects of humid air, so precipitation is expected to be higher than normal.

Weather for tomorrow 6th (Thursday) Typhoon No. 13 approaches Okinawa

2026/08/05 17:57

Typhoon No. 13 is expected to approach the Nansei Islands. It will be a rainy day in Okinawa and Amami. Winds will gradually increase and the weather will become stormy late into the evening. It looks like it will be quite hot and humid due to the humid air flowing in from the typhoon.



Hokuriku, from the Tokai region to the west, are expected to continue experiencing extreme heat. During the day, it will be as hot as body temperature, and temperatures are expected to approach 40 degrees Celsius, especially on the Sea of Japan side of western Japan. Please use a parasol and hat when going out and be as careful as possible to avoid heat stroke. On the Pacific side of Kyushu and Shikoku, it is easy to rain due to the influence of moist air from typhoons, and there is a possibility of temporary heavy rain. Please take an umbrella with you when you go out.
The weather in the Kanto region will be cloudy and cloudy, but the temperature is expected to be higher than today. The humidity is also high, so you'll feel hot and humid.
There are many places in northern Japan that receive sunlight, and in some inland areas the temperature can exceed 35 degrees Celsius. Even in Hokkaido, there are many places where the temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, and the summer sky will be wide open.
