台風たいふう9号きゅうごう31日さんじゅういちにちにかけ小笠原おがさわら近海きんかいに停滞ていたい影響えいきょう長引ながびくおそれ

Typhoon No. 9 is expected to remain almost stationary near the Ogasawara Islands through the 31st, and its effects may persist for an extended period.

Please be alert for high waves, and pay close attention to strong winds and landslides.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, as of 6 a.m., Typhoon No. 9 is almost stationary over the sea about 200 kilometers north-northeast of Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands.

The central pressure is 985 hectopascals, the maximum wind speed near the center is 23 meters per second, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 35 meters per second. Strong winds with speeds of 15 meters per second or more are blowing within 280 kilometers southeast and within 220 kilometers northwest of the center.

The typhoon approached the Ogasawara Islands on the 29th and is gradually moving away, but since its movement is slow, it is expected to remain almost stationary until around the 31st, so the effects may persist in the Ogasawara Islands.

For this reason, very strong winds are expected to blow in the Ogasawara Islands, with maximum wind speeds of 20 meters per second and maximum instantaneous wind speeds of 30 meters per second expected between the 30th and 31st.

In addition, rough seas with swells are expected to continue offshore, with wave heights forecasted to reach 7 meters on the 30th and 6 meters tomorrow.

There is also a risk of intermittent heavy rain accompanied by thunder, which may result in localized downpours.

The amount of rainfall expected in the Ogasawara Islands in the 24 hours until the morning of the 31st is up to 100 millimeters in areas with heavy rain.

Be cautious of high waves accompanied by swells, and pay close attention to strong winds and landslides. Also, be aware of flooding in low-lying areas, rising river levels, lightning, and sudden gusts of wind.

Even in Honshu and other areas far from the typhoon, there is a risk of locally high waves, so caution is necessary.

The typhoon may approach Honshu early next month, but since there is still considerable uncertainty in the forecast, please pay attention to future updates.
