東海とうかいとうかいで線せん状じょう降水こうすい帯たいおそれ 災害さいがいに警戒けいかいを 突風とっぷうとみられる被害ひがいも

Due to the influence of moist air, the atmosphere is extremely unstable, especially in eastern Japan, and intermittent, very heavy rain is falling in the Tokai and Kanto-Koshin regions.

In the Tokai region, there is a possibility that a linear rainband will form in the next few hours, rapidly increasing the risk of disasters. Please be alert for landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, rising river levels, and possible river flooding.

On the other hand, Typhoon No. 5 has just turned into an extratropical cyclone, but strong winds and rough seas are expected to continue in northern Japan, so please be very careful of strong winds and high waves.

[Video] Meteorologists Explanation 2 minutes 6 seconds Heavy rain across various regions; risk of a linear rainband forming in Shizuoka According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, due to the influence of a low-pressure system over the Sea of Japan and warm, moist air flowing in around the edge of a high-pressure system, the atmosphere—especially in eastern Japan—has become extremely unstable, and developed rain clouds from the south are continuously moving in one after another.

In the one hour up to 9 a.m., heavy rainfall was observed: 42 millimeters by a rain gauge installed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in Ena City, Gifu Prefecture, and 34 millimeters by a rain gauge installed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in Hachioji City.

It is expected that the atmosphere will remain extremely unstable, mainly in the Tokai and Kanto-Koshin regions, and there is a risk of very heavy rain accompanied by localized thunderstorms.

Especially in Shizuoka Prefecture, there is a possibility that a linear band of heavy rain will form in the next few hours, rapidly increasing the risk of disasters.

Since moist air will continue to flow in, there is a risk of heavy rain continuing mainly in the Tokai region and on the Pacific side of eastern Japan through around the 17th.

The amount of rainfall in the 24 hours until the morning of the 16th is expected to be up to 150 millimeters in both the Tokai and Kanto-Koshin regions.

In the 24 hours until the morning of the 17th: - Tokai region: 200 mm - Kanto-Koshin region: 150 mm

In the 24 hours leading up to the morning of the 18th, rainfall of 150 millimeters is expected in the Tokai region and 100 millimeters in the Kanto-Koshin region.

The Japan Meteorological Agency is urging people to be on alert for landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, rising river levels and overflows, as well as to watch out for lightning, tornadoes and other severe gusts of wind, and hail.
