Typhoon 31 (In-fa) has formed—the first such occurrence in 13 years; please stay tuned for further updates.

2026/10/24 07:38

At 3:00 a.m. today, the 24th, a developing tropical depression in the Marshall Islands intensified into Typhoon No. 31. This marks the first time a 31st typhoon has formed since 2013.

? Typhoon No. 31 ? Saturday, the 24th, 3:00 a.m.
==================
Center Location: Marshall Islands
Movement: Southeast, moving slowly
Central Pressure: 1002 hPa
Maximum Sustained Wind Speed: 18 m/s (near the center)
Maximum Gust Wind Speed: 25 m/s
==================



The typhoon is expected to move northward through the Marshall Islands at a relatively slow pace. It is forecast to reach "strong" intensity by Tuesday, the 27th, and develop into a "very strong" typhoon by Thursday, the 29th, while in the vicinity of Wake Island.
Although there is significant uncertainty regarding its subsequent path, the typhoon could potentially affect areas such as the Ogasawara Islands around the beginning of next month, depending on its trajectory. Please continue to monitor the latest typhoon information.

Weather for today, Saturday the 24th: Okinawa faces risk of severe weather; rain likely across regions from Tohoku to Kyushu.

2026/10/24 06:47

Today, Saturday the 24th, Typhoon No. 30 is expected to move northward across the East China Sea. Meanwhile, a weather front is projected to lie near the main island of Honshu. Consequently, umbrellas will likely be needed across a wide area, stretching from the Tohoku region down to Kyushu. In Okinawa, the typhoon will continue to cause rough weather.



As of 3:00 AM, the large and strong Typhoon No. 30 is nearly stationary northwest of Yonaguni Island, with the Sakishima Islands currently within its zone of violent winds. The typhoon is expected to move northward through the East China Sea; however, its relatively slow pace means that its impact will persist. In the morning, in particular, there is a risk of extremely heavy rainfall?exceeding 50mm per hour?and the Sakishima Islands may experience fierce winds strong enough to potentially cause the collapse of some homes. Residents in Okinawa are advised to avoid non-essential outings and to stay as far away from windows as possible. Please remain on high alert for landslides triggered by heavy rain, as well as potential flooding in low-lying areas and rising water levels or overflowing in rivers.

Along the Sea of ??Japan coast?from northern Kyushu through the San'in region to the Hokuriku region?intermittent rain is expected. Rain clouds are also likely to spread across the Pacific-facing regions of western and eastern Japan, with the potential for localized heavy downpours and thunderstorms. Please be cautious of lightning strikes and sudden gusts of wind.

In the Tohoku region, the weather is expected to deteriorate.
Rain will gradually spread throughout the afternoon, and by nightfall, it is likely to be raining across a broad area. Even if it is not raining when you head out, please be sure to carry rain gear.

In Hokkaido, much of the region will enjoy clear autumn weather, with no significant deterioration in conditions expected. Please be mindful of the temperature difference between the morning/evening and the daytime.

Summary of weather and temperatures (October 11–17): Weather followed a cyclical pattern, with significant fluctuations in temperature.

2026/10/23 19:44

A summary of the weather and temperatures from October 11 to October 17, 2026.

? Atmospheric Pressure Patterns
On the 11th, a pressure trough extended from west of Kyushu to the East China Sea, where a low-pressure system moved slowly northward. Typhoon No. 28 weakened into a tropical depression east of Japan. Meanwhile, a very strong Typhoon No. 29 moved northward near the Ogasawara Islands. On the 12th, a low-pressure system remained nearly stationary over the East China Sea, while the very strong Typhoon No. 29 moved northward from the vicinity of the Ogasawara Islands toward the area east of Japan. On the 13th, a low-pressure system accompanied by a front moved northeastward across the Sea of ??Japan; Typhoon No. 29 continued its northeastward path, moving from the area east of Japan to a position far to the east. On the 14th, a low-pressure system with an associated front intensified while moving north-northeast across the northern Sea of ??Japan, eventually reaching the vicinity of Sakhalin. Far to the south of Japan, near the Marshall Islands, a tropical depression moved slowly northwestward. On the 15th, a "west-high, east-low" pressure pattern (typical of winter-like conditions) prevailed near Northern Japan. Typhoon No. 30 formed near the Marshall Islands and moved westward while intensifying. On the 16th, the "west-high, east-low" pressure pattern persisted near Northern Japan, and Typhoon No. 30 moved westward near the Chuuk (Truk) Islands. On the 17th, a pressure trough existed over the region from North China to South China, situated behind a high-pressure system. A low-pressure system accompanied by a front moved northeastward through Central China.

? Precipitation
On the 11th, very heavy to heavy rainfall was recorded in areas ranging from the Amami region to the main island of Okinawa. Rain also fell intermittently in Kyushu, primarily along the Pacific coast. On the 12th, rain clouds developed near the Southwestern Islands (Nansei Shoto), with heavy rainfall recorded at three locations in Okinawa Prefecture. On the 13th, a cold front moving across the Sea of ??Japan brought rain to Kyushu starting before midday, with precipitation spreading across a wide area of ??western Japan and the Hokuriku region. On the 14th, the cold front caused rain across a large portion of Honshu, with the affected area expanding throughout the afternoon across eastern and northern Japan. On the 15th, cold air in the upper atmosphere led to scattered rain?at times accompanied by thunderstorms?along the Sea of ??Japan coast in northern Tohoku and across Hokkaido. Additionally, a trough of low pressure brought moderately heavy rain to the Izu Islands. On the 16th, as a low-pressure system passed over northern Japan and a cold front moved southeast across the Sea of ??Japan, a band of rain clouds stretched from the Tohoku region to the southern Sea of ??Japan coast, bringing heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms. On the 17th, a high-pressure system covered much of Honshu, resulting in virtually no significant precipitation anywhere.

? Temperatures
On the 11th, temperatures reached 30C or higher?classified as a "midsummer day"?in some inland areas of Kyushu and the Chugoku region, with some locations recording temperatures 5?7C above the seasonal average. On the 12th, Honshu was under the influence of a high-pressure system, bringing clear skies and sunshine to many areas. In parts of central Hokkaido, the Chubu region, western Chugoku, and northern Kyushu, temperatures were significantly higher than the seasonal average. On the 13th, southerly winds blowing toward a low-pressure system over the Sea of ??Japan caused temperatures to rise along the Sea of ??Japan coast of Honshu due to the Foehn effect. On the 14th, temperatures rose in areas where warm air flowed in from the south; however, following the passage of the front, cold northerly winds moved in, causing temperatures along the Sea of ??Japan coast to rise only slightly from the afternoon onward. On the 15th, many areas from Kyushu to the southern Tohoku region experienced clear, sunny weather. Temperatures reached 25C or higher?classified as a "summer day"?in several locations, primarily along the Pacific coast of western Japan, including a high of 25.4C in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. On the 16th, temperatures reached 26.6C in Tokyo, 26.7C in Nagoya, and 25.8C in Osaka?marking "summer days" (temperatures of 25C or higher) across these locations. On the 17th, temperatures dropped below freezing at about five locations in Hokkaido. During the day, however, areas that received sunshine saw temperatures climb above 25C.



? Weather Summary for the Period (October 11 ? October 17)
Average temperatures across the country were either slightly higher than or above the seasonal norm. Northern Japan, in particular, was frequently covered by warm air, leading to temperatures that were higher than average in many areas. In Hokkaido, locations such as Asahikawa and Kushiro recorded temperatures more than 3C above the seasonal average.
Precipitation was generally below the seasonal norm nationwide, as many areas were under the influence of high-pressure systems; this was especially true along the Pacific coast, where rainfall was significantly lower than average. Conversely, the Southwestern Islands (Nansei Shoto) were more affected by moist air, resulting in rainfall that was slightly above the seasonal average.
Sunshine duration was above the seasonal norm in many areas?particularly across Honshu?due to the frequent presence of high-pressure systems. In the region stretching from the southern part of the Tohoku district to the Kinki district, sunshine duration was more than 1.5 times the seasonal average, with many areas experiencing clear, pleasant autumn weather.

Weekly weather: Rain expected across a wide area due to Typhoon 30; a strong cold air mass to arrive around the middle of next week.

2026/10/23 18:14

Due to the influence of Typhoon No. 30 and a weather front, a wide area spanning from Western to Eastern Japan is expected to experience rain, with the potential for heavy rainfall that could trigger weather warnings.



As of 5:00 PM today, Friday the 23rd, the large and very strong Typhoon No. 30 is moving in a north-northwesterly direction near the area south-southeast of Yonaguni Island. The typhoon's forward speed has slowed, and its impact on the vicinity of Okinawa may persist until around the 25th.
In Okinawa and the Sakishima Islands, residents should remain on high alert for violent winds, high waves accompanied by swells, and disasters caused by heavy rainfall. Additionally, please be cautious of rising sea levels due to storm surges.

Typhoon No. 30 is expected to shift its course toward the east, moving across the East China Sea and approaching Western Japan from the 25th onward. While it is projected to transition into an extratropical cyclone by around the 27th, the large size of the forecast circle indicates a significant margin of uncertainty regarding its exact path.



A weather front is expected to remain stationary near the main island of Honshu tomorrow, Saturday the 24th. As warm, moist air from Typhoon No. 30 flows toward this front, the front's activity will intensify, likely bringing rain to a broad region stretching from Western to Eastern Japan. In some areas, the rainfall may become intense and be accompanied by thunderstorms. Following this, from western to eastern Japan, the influence of warm, moist air from Typhoon 30 and a weather front is expected to bring a prolonged period of rain through around Tuesday the 27th. In some areas, this could lead to heavy rainfall reaching warning levels. As there is currently a high degree of uncertainty regarding the future intensity and projected path of Typhoon 30, please be sure to check the latest typhoon information.




From Wednesday the 28th onwards, a low-pressure system is expected to move near northern Japan, potentially bringing severe weather to areas along the Sea of ??Japan, from northern Japan through the Hokuriku region. As strong cold air aloft moves southward with this system, snow is expected in mountainous areas of Hokkaido and the Sea of ??Japan side of the Tohoku region, with the possibility of snow accumulation even in lowland areas. Please pay close attention to road conditions, and if you drive, ensure that you prepare winter tires well in advance.
Additionally, due to this strong cold air, temperatures are expected to drop significantly in inland areas from western to eastern Japan. In some inland locations, morning lows may fall below 10 C. As the temperature difference between day and night is likely to increase, please take care to manage your health accordingly.
