A typhoon is directly hitting Okinawa. The peak of the severe weather is likely to last for an extended period. Meanwhile, while it has suddenly become hot around Honshu, today will see not just scorching summer days with temperatures above 30°C, but also many areas experiencing extreme heat above 35°C. Some areas may even experience temperatures exceeding body temperature. This morning, Okinawa is already experiencing the peak of the severe weather, with the typhoon's large, well-developed rain clouds completely covering the island. Strong winds are also raging, with maximum instantaneous wind speeds reaching 40 meters per second in Miyako Island this morning, and many areas experiencing the strongest winds of the year so far. Typhoon No. 9 is expected to continue moving northward at a bicycle-like speed and weaken into a tropical depression over the continent around Tuesday of next week. This typhoon is moving very slowly, which means the peak of the strong winds and heavy rain in Okinawa may be prolonged. The active rain clouds of the typhoon will continue to cover Okinawa, resulting in prolonged rain. Some areas may experience torrential rain exceeding 80 millimeters per hour. Strong winds will continue for an extended period, and there is a risk of extremely strong winds in the Sakishima Islands, potentially causing some houses to collapse. Disaster-level storms, high waves, and storm surges may occur. In addition to strong winds, please be extremely vigilant against flooding and inundation caused by high waves accompanied by swells and storm surges. Furthermore, more than a month's worth of rain in July may fall, potentially resulting in record-breaking heavy rainfall in some areas. Please be extremely vigilant against landslides and other heavy rain-related disasters. Meanwhile, sudden heat waves are expected around Honshu. Maximum temperatures will reach 30°C or higher in Tohoku, Kanto, and westward, with Tokyo likely to reach 31°C, marking its fourth consecutive day of scorching summer temperatures. Many areas, mainly in western Japan, will experience extreme heat with temperatures exceeding 35°C. Kurume in Fukuoka and Hita in Oita may reach 38°C, and Fukuoka may reach 37°C, some areas experiencing their hottest temperatures of the year. Some areas may even experience temperatures exceeding body temperature, and some may see the first extreme heat day of the year with temperatures exceeding 40°C.
