Typhoon No. 6 moved east along the southern coast of Kanto. Strict warning for heavy rain until mid-afternoon

2026/06/03 11:51

As of 10 a.m., large-scale typhoon No. 6 is located approximately 50 kilometers west-southwest of Omaezaki City and is moving east-northeast at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour.



The rain peaks in the Tokai and Kanto regions from morning to midday, with linear precipitation bands occurring in the Izu region of Shizuoka Prefecture and eastern Kanagawa Prefecture. The peak of heavy rain is expected to continue until noon in the Tokai region and into the early afternoon in the Kanto region. It is necessary to be careful about flooding of low-lying land and underground facilities, and flooding of rivers.
Large typhoon No. 6 is expected to move eastward along the Kanto coast into the afternoon.



As of 11 a.m., active rain clouds are hanging over the Kanto region from Shizuoka Prefecture, and the rain is at its peak. In the morning, a linear precipitation band forms in Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture, and before noon, a linear precipitation band forms in eastern Kanagawa Prefecture.
Even in Tokyo, the risk of flooding is increasing, with a "Level 4 Flood Danger Warning" being announced for the Meguro River and Kanda River at one point.



The peak of heavy rain will continue until noon in the Tokai region and into the early afternoon in the Kanto region. It is necessary to be careful about flooding of low-lying land and underground facilities, and flooding of rivers. The rain will gradually stop after the evening, but rivers may swell or landslides may occur after the rain has stopped. Please do not approach dangerous areas until the warning has been lifted.

The wind is expected to blow strongly into the night, and people in Chiba Prefecture need to be on guard against strong winds.



Also, be careful of inland water flooding in the Kanto and Tokai regions into the afternoon.

Inland flooding is damage caused by flooding caused by heavy rain that falls in urban areas and overflows onto the ground. It is said to be more likely to occur in urban areas where most of the area is paved with asphalt.

Distinguished from ``outside water flooding,'' where water from a large river overflows over the embankment, ``inland water flooding'' is a disaster in which rainfall exceeds the drainage capacity of sewers and irrigation canals, or the water level of the river (mainstream) to which it is drained rises, causing rainwater that has no place to go and overflows into urban areas. Not only does water overflow from rivers and irrigation canals, but water can also gush out from manholes.

Compared to "outside water flooding," "inland water flooding" generally tends to have a shallower degree of inundation, but damage occurs in a short period of time, and flooding can occur even in areas far from rivers.

Please pay attention to information about upcoming typhoons.

Today's 3rd (Wednesday) weather: Stormy weather mainly in eastern Japan; weather recovery in western Japan

If a linear precipitation band occurs, there is a risk that the rainfall will increase locally.

The rainy season has entered the Shikoku region, and the rainy season has entered western Japan.

2026/06/02 19:16

The Japan Meteorological Agency announced on June 2 that the Shikoku region appears to have entered the rainy season.
The rainy season started 3 days earlier than normal and 16 days later than last year.
Yesterday, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced that the rainy season seems to have entered southern Kyushu, and
Western Japan will soon enter the rainy season.

*In a normal year, the rainy season in Shikoku ends around July 17th
In a normal year, the rainy season in southern Kyushu ends around July 15th

There are disasters that are more likely to occur during the rainy season, such as floods and landslides. Check evacuation sites and evacuation routes, and use hazard maps to understand the disaster risks to your home in the event of a disaster. Roofs and walls need to be repaired, and drains need to be cleaned regularly to prevent rain leaks and flooding. Just in case, it's a good idea to have emergency food, drinking water, a radio, and a flashlight on hand. Precipitation in this year's rainy season is expected to be around average, but it will be higher than last year's dry rainy season. Locally heavy rain is possible. Before the rainy season begins in earnest, be sure to take precautions at home.

*There is a period of "transition" of about 5 days on average between the start and end of the rainy season, and the dates may be revised at a later date.

There is a possibility of heavy rain early in the rainy season. Be wary of flooding of low-lying land, rising river water, landslides, etc.

The typhoon is expected to move east of Japan on the morning of the 4th and turn into an extratropical cyclone. After the typhoon passes, the front is expected to move eastward from the west and become stationary south of Honshu. As a result of this, damp air tends to flow in, and the weather is likely to continue to be cloudy and cloudy.





June is here, and it looks like the full-fledged rainy season will begin. Please check the disaster risk in your area on a daily basis using hazard maps and take measures against heavy rain, such as checking your disaster prevention stockpiles.

[Typhoon No. 6] A linear precipitation belt will form from southern Kyushu to the Tokai region, and the risk of heavy rain disasters may increase rapidly.

[Typhoon Information] Typhoon No. 6 approaches Kyushu and Shikoku today, 2nd day, risk of severe storms

2026/06/02 08:07

Today, the 2nd (Tuesday), Typhoon No. 6 was located west-northwest of Amami City and was moving north-northeast at a speed of approximately 25 km per hour.

#Typhoon No. 6 2nd (Tuesday) 7:00 a.m.
==================
Center location: West-northwest of Amami City
Movement direction, speed: North-northeast 25km/h
Central pressure 975hPa
Maximum wind speed 30m/s (near the center)
Maximum instantaneous wind speed 40m/s
=================



Typhoon No. 6 is expected to move fairly close to southern Kyushu from the Amami region into the evening of today, the 2nd (Tuesday).
On the 3rd tomorrow (Wednesday), there is a risk that it will move east-northeast along the southern coast of Honshu, approaching the Pacific side of eastern Japan from western Japan, accompanied by stormy winds.
Also, a front is extending from Kyushu to the south of Japan, and is expected to move north on the northeast side of the typhoon.

The effects of the typhoon itself and the front will cause intermittent torrential to extremely heavy rain, and the total amount of precipitation is expected to be high, especially along the mountains that open from south to southeast in the Amami region, the Pacific side of western and eastern Japan, and the Pacific side of Tohoku.
Since the rain clouds that have developed are located to the north and east, far from the center of the typhoon, there is a risk that the rain will become stronger even if you are far from the center of the typhoon, and that the winds may blow very strongly even in areas other than the center.



In the Amami region today, the 2nd (Tuesday),
in western Japan from today the 2nd (Tuesday) to tomorrow 3rd (Wednesday),
in the Pacific side of eastern Japan from tomorrow the 3rd (Wednesday),
Please be extremely cautious of strong winds, high waves with swells, landslides, flooding of low-lying land, and rising and flooding rivers.

In the northern Kyushu region, please be careful of flooding and flooding caused by high tides in low-lying areas near the coast and river mouths today, the 2nd (Tuesday).

Ferocious winds are expected to cause injuries from flying objects and the risk of overturning moving trucks. Please refrain from going out unless necessary, and stay away from windows when indoors to avoid strong winds.
Be careful of strong gusts of wind such as lightning and tornadoes.

In the southern Kyushu and Amami regions, there is a possibility that linear precipitation bands will form in the future, and the risk of heavy rain disasters will increase rapidly.
Please be even more prepared for heavy rain and pay attention to disaster prevention weather information and information such as Kikikuru, which will be announced in stages.

Today's weather on the 2nd (Tuesday): Stormy weather in western Japan due to Typhoon No. 6

2026/06/02 07:35

There is a high-pressure center east of Japan that is almost stationary. Meanwhile, Typhoon No. 6 is located west-northwest of Amami City and moving north-northeast. A front extends to the north of the typhoon.
The typhoon will move northeastward south of Kyushu today, the 2nd (Tuesday).

Currently, rain is falling in some places in Okinawa/Amami and Kyushu to Tokai due to rain clouds from the typhoon itself and the northern front.
As of 7:20 a.m., a wave warning has been issued in Okinawa Prefecture, a storm warning and wave warning in Kagoshima Prefecture and the Amami region, and a storm warning in Nagasaki Prefecture.

In the future, there is a possibility that warnings will be announced in other areas, mainly on the Pacific side of western Japan.
In the southern Kyushu and Amami regions, linear precipitation bands may occur and the risk of heavy rain disasters may increase rapidly.
Please check the latest information.



Today, the 2nd (Tuesday), as the typhoon moves south of Kyushu, rain and wind will increase, mainly in western Japan, resulting in rough weather. There is a possibility of warning-level heavy rain, landslides, strong winds, and waves, mainly on the Pacific coast. Transportation may be affected, so it is best to check the latest information and avoid going out unless necessary.
Also, the rain is expected to gradually spread to eastern Japan. In Tokai and Kanto-Koshin areas, a typhoon is expected to approach tomorrow, the 3rd (Wednesday), so prepare for heavy rain disasters today.

In northern Japan, there are many places where the weather is sunny and the temperature is high. In Sapporo, it is expected to be a midsummer day with temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius. This is the time when you are not used to the heat yet, so please take measures to prevent heatstroke, such as taking frequent breaks and hydrating.

Today the 31st (Sunday) Future weather: Kyushu to Kanto has a lot of clouds mainly on the Pacific side; Okinawa is also affected by Typhoon No.6

2026/05/31 12:44

In the afternoon of today, the 31st (Sunday), clouds are likely to remain from Kyushu to Kanto as far as the Pacific Ocean side. From Hokuriku to Kyushu, the maximum temperature will be 30 degrees Celsius or higher in many midsummer days. The area around Honshu will be gently covered by high pressure, but Typhoon No. 6 is expected to move northward south of Okinawa.



From Kyushu to Kanto, clouds are likely to increase on the Pacific side until evening. There may be rain and thunderstorms in some parts of the Kanto-Koshin region, including along the mountains, after the evening.
I think some people will be enjoying some leisure time in the mountains today on Sunday. Please pay close attention to changes in the sky. If you notice signs such as approaching black clouds, sudden strong winds, or hearing thunder, evacuate inside a building or somewhere safe.



On the other hand, it looks like the Chugoku region and Hokuriku will be clear and sunny. The wind is calm and it is expected to be a good day for washing clothes.
Also, Tohoku and Hokkaido are likely to have stable clear skies in the afternoon.
Okinawa has a lot of clouds, and there will be rain and thunderstorms here and there. At sea, swells from Typhoon No. 6 are expected to build up gradually.



Typhoon No. 6 is developing in the south of Okinawa and moving north. It is likely that there will be heavy rain in Okinawa and Amami from tomorrow June 1st (Monday) to June 2nd (Tuesday). It is better to prepare for a typhoon today.



Today, the 31st (Sunday), the heat will continue, hard to believe it is the last day of May.
From Hokuriku and Kanto to Kyushu, there are many midsummer days with temperatures above 30 degrees, so you need to be careful about heatstroke.
It is expected to be 30c in Tokyo, 31c in Osaka, and 32c in Nagoya.
As the unusually hot weather continues, please make sure to drink plenty of water and take adequate breaks.
The temperature in Sapporo is 25c, higher than yesterday, and it will be as sunny as mid-July. Please be careful not to get sick due to the sudden heat.

[Typhoon No. 6] Before the stormy weather, you should know how to use Kikikuru

2026/05/31 12:08

Typhoon No. 6 is moving north-northwest south of Okinawa.
There is a possibility that it will approach the Okinawa and Amami regions with strong winds and strong winds from June 1st to 2nd, and then approach from western Japan to eastern Japan around the 3rd.

Even if the typhoon itself is far away, the rain can suddenly intensify due to the influence of humid air, and the outside situation can change dramatically in a short period of time.



To understand the disaster risk in your area, please use the Kikikuru (risk distribution) provided by the Japan Meteorological Agency.



In Kikikuru, the risk level of landslides, inundation, and floods is color-coded, and you can check where the danger is currently high on the map using the colors.



Color is a guide for evacuation actions.

Black: Your life is in danger. Ensure safety immediately!
Purple: Evacuate everyone from dangerous areas
Red: Those who will take time to evacuate
(elderly people, people with small children, etc.)
evacuate early.
Yellow: Check the evacuation site, evacuation route, and timing

In particular, if a purple or black sign is displayed,
you must prioritize ensuring your safety, regardless of whether there is an evacuation order from the local government.



As the surrounding situation becomes difficult to understand at night, it is important to take early evacuation actions before the danger level increases. Additionally, as a typhoon approaches, there is a risk of flying objects caused by the strong winds, so please take precautions such as clearing things from your balcony and reinforcing your windows.


Typhoon No.6's course and strength may change in the future. Please stay safe while frequently checking announcements from the Japan Meteorological Agency, information from local governments, Kikikuru and typhoon information. In order to protect yourself, your family, and those around you, please prepare early and behave calmly.

If you are planning to go out, please consider taking action early or reconsidering your plans.
