Media Warns Tropical Storm Nari Could Hit Japan
(MENAFN) Tropical storm Nari is poised to impact regions near Tokyo and northeastern Japan by Monday, prompting urgent warnings about severe winds, towering waves, and potential landslides, according to local media sources.
This marks the fifth tropical storm or typhoon to develop this year. Forecasts indicate that Nari will move toward the Kanto area, which includes Tokyo, by Monday afternoon, then progress toward northeastern Japan and Hokkaido from late Monday through Tuesday, media reported, referencing the Japan Meteorological Agency’s data.
Meteorologists predict the storm will intensify as it heads northward, approaching the Sanriku coastline.
As of Monday morning, Nari was positioned roughly 210 kilometers (130 miles) south-southeast of Choshi in Chiba Prefecture near Tokyo. The storm was advancing north at approximately 35 kilometers (21 miles) per hour, with sustained winds reaching up to 126 kilometers (78 miles) per hour.
The Japan Meteorological Agency expects maximum wind speeds of up to 126 kph (78 mph) across the Kanto region—including Tokyo—along with the Tohoku area on Monday, extending to Hokkaido on Tuesday.
Additionally, rainfall could reach as much as 120 millimeters across these regions by Tuesday, increasing the risk of hazardous conditions.
