A powerful typhoon was approaching Japan’s Pacific coast on ​Monday (September 21, 2026), bringing torrential rain, violent winds and ‌a heightened risk of landslides across the ​Kanto region and other ⁠parts of eastern Japan, the weather agency said.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) warned that conditions could ‌deteriorate rapidly as Typhoon Dujuan was forecast to pass close to ‌the Tokyo metropolitan area later ‌in ⁠the day.

Heavy rain has already ⁠drenched parts of the Izu Islands, Chiba Prefecture and other Pacific coastal areas, with some locations ​recording more than ‌300 mm (12 inches) of rainfall since Saturday (September 19, 2026).

The JMA said downpours could intensify from Monday afternoon as the typhoon nears ‌the Kanto region, an area ​that includes Tokyo and surrounding prefectures.

At the Asian Games in central ⁠Japan’s Aichi Prefecture, organisers postponed the equestrian eventing competition until Tuesday (September 22, 2026) due to ‌the approaching typhoon.

Authorities cautioned that linear rain bands could form over Kanto and central Japan, sharply raising the risk of flash floods and other rain-related disasters.

Linear bands, which have become ‌a growing concern in Japan in recent years, ​can dump extraordinary amounts of rain over a narrow area for ⁠several hours.

Typhoon Dujuan comes amid a ⁠year of extreme weather events around the world, with unusually intense ‌rainfall, flooding and tropical cyclones affecting regions from East Asia to North America ​and Europe.

Tokyo:

Japan logged record-breaking temperatures in October, marking the hottest October since record-keeping began in 1898, data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) showed.

The monthly average temperature across Japan exceeded typical October temperatures by 2.21 degrees Celsius, according to the JMA data released on Friday.

Regionally, temperatures in northern Japan averaged 1.9 degrees higher, while eastern and western Japan saw temperatures increase by 2.6 degrees, Xinhua news agency reported.

Cities like Kyoto, Nagano, and central Tokyo experienced significant temperature hikes, with October averages rising by 3.2 degrees, 3.1 degrees, and 2.6 degrees respectively.

Looking ahead, the JMA forecasts that November temperatures will likely remain above average, though colder air is expected to arrive in the latter half of next week, potentially leading to more dramatic temperature fluctuations.

The pattern of high temperatures in Japan has been persistent since July, raising concerns over the frequency of such unseasonal warmth.
