Meteorological satellite Himawari 9 disrupted as typhoon approaches

2025/10/13 11:52

The Japan Meteorological Agency announced that a disturbance occurred in the observation of the geostationary meteorological satellite "Himawari 9" from around 0:30 yesterday, October 12th.
For a time, it was impossible to observe all satellite images.

Although the exact cause is unknown, the observation equipment needs to be cooled down to a specified temperature in order to provide normal observation data, and as this cooling process requires additional time, it is expected that it will take some time before data provision starts.

This failure caused multiple content updates, including the Japan Meteorological Agency's website ``Meteorological Satellite Himawari,'' and the inability to distribute data outside the Japan Meteorological Agency.

On the same day, the Japan Meteorological Agency gradually switched over to observation by the standby Himawari-8, and from 22:00, provision to the Japan Meteorological Agency, other organizations, and private organizations resumed.

The Japan Meteorological Agency will continue to investigate the problem of "Himawari 9" and will continue to provide information via "Himawari 8" for the time being.

Movement speed Northeast 20km/h
Central pressure 992 hPa
Maximum wind speed 25 m/s (near the center)
Maximum instantaneous wind speed 35 m/s
=================



Typhoon No. 23 is expected to advance east-northeast across the south of Japan as it continues to intensify, and will approach the Izu Islands from dawn to morning on the 13th. The central pressure of the typhoon at 6 a.m. tomorrow, the 13th, is expected to reach 980 hPa, the maximum wind speed near the center is 30 m/s, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed is expected to reach 45 m/s. Although it may not be as strong as Typhoon No. 22, which passed through the Izu Islands the other day, there is a risk of strong winds blowing that could overturn moving trucks.
Additionally, waves are expected to reach a height of 9 meters tomorrow, the 13th, and there is a risk of severe swells accompanied by swells.



In the Izu Islands, there will be places where heavy rain accompanied by thunder or very heavy rain will fall from late tonight until early afternoon on the 13th tomorrow. Due to the impact of the recent Typhoon No. 22, the ground has become loose in some areas, making the risk of landslides more likely.

In the Izu Islands, please take strict precautions against heavy rain disasters such as landslides, strong winds, and high waves until the 13th. There is a risk that the damage to buildings that were damaged by Typhoon No. 22 the other day may be further exacerbated, so please stay in a safe place and refrain from going out unless necessary.

Today's weather on the 12th (Sunday): Northern Japan and Hokuriku are prone to rain; western Japan is experiencing a severe late summer heat.

2025/10/12 07:22

Today, the 12th (Sunday), near Honshu, a frontal low pressure system is moving east-northeast east of Kanto, and another frontal low pressure system extending from central China to the Sea of Japan is moving eastward across the Sea of Japan. In the south of Japan, Typhoon No. 23 is intensifying as it moves eastward, and as it continues to intensify, it will approach the Izu Islands through tomorrow the 13th.

It will be a rainy day from northern Japan to Hokuriku due to the effects of low pressure and fronts moving through the Sea of Japan. Particularly in the Tohoku region, there is a risk that the rain will become stronger, accompanied by thunder, and the amount of rain will increase, especially on the Sea of Japan side of the southern Tohoku region. Please be careful of landslides and flooding of low-lying areas tonight.

From Kanto to the west, the sky will be cloudy and there will be some localized showers. In the coastal areas of western Japan, there are likely to be areas where there will be heavy rain accompanied by localized thunderstorms, such as the Kii Peninsula and Shikoku. Please bring an umbrella with you when you go out. In the Kanto region, the chilly weather will disappear as the cold wind from the north subsides, and the maximum daytime temperature in many places will be nearly 5 degrees Celsius higher than yesterday.
Western Japan has a severe lingering summer heat, and there are likely to be midsummer days with temperatures above 30c. Please take care of your physical condition to avoid heat stroke.



In the Izu Islands, warm and humid air from the typhoon will flow toward the front, so the weather will likely be rainy on and off. Typhoon No. 23 is approaching from the west and is expected to approach the Izu Islands in the early morning hours of tomorrow, the 13th. From tonight until the morning of tomorrow, the 13th, there is a risk of extremely heavy rain accompanied by thunder and strong winds, leading to severe stormy weather. The ground is loose in some places due to the recent Typhoon No. 22, and strict vigilance is required to prevent landslides and flooding of low-lying areas.
In addition, there is a risk of strong winds that could overturn trucks into the 13th. Please be extremely cautious of strong winds and high waves, and refrain from going out unless necessary.

Typhoon No. 23 is approaching southern Kyushu. On the last day of the 3-day holiday, people in the Izu Islands are advised to refrain from going out unless necessary and on high alert due to fierce winds.

2025/10/11 12:36

Typhoon No. 23 will mainly affect Okinawa, southern Kyushu/Amami region, and Izu Islands during this three-day weekend.
The Izu Islands experienced record heavy rain and strong winds due to Typhoon No. 22, and there is a risk that stormy weather will return.
The Kanto region is not expected to be affected by the rain clouds of the typhoon itself, but there will be some places along the coast where the rain and wind will be strong.



Today, Saturday, the 11th, Typhoon No. 23 was mostly stationary south of Amami Oshima, but as of 9 a.m., it had begun to slowly move north-northeast.
A strong wind advisory has been issued not only in the Amami region, which is in the strong wind region, but also in southern Kyushu.
Rain clouds are gathering around the center of the typhoon, and thunderclouds are developing on the southwest side of the typhoon.
Also, winds blowing from the south between Typhoon No. 23 and high pressure bring in moist air, and there are places on the southern coast of Honshu where the winds from the south and winds from the east collide, and it is raining in some places.

Typhoon No. 23 is expected to move south of Amami Oshima from the north.
The sea surface east of Tanegashima and Kyushu, which is in the path of the typhoon, has high sea surface temperatures, creating an environment suitable for the typhoon's development, and it is likely to become even more powerful.
As the typhoon moves near the center of the forecast circle, it is expected to approach Kagoshima Prefecture (excluding the Amami region) from late at night today, the 11th (Saturday) to early morning on the 12th (Sunday) tomorrow.
Then, it will move east-northeast off the coast of Tokaido from the south of Japan, and by the 13th (Monday) the next day, there is a risk that it will come very close to the Izu Islands, accompanied by strong winds, similar to Typhoon No. 22.



#Southern Kyushu/Amami - Heavy rain like an overturned bucket
In the southern Kyushu/Amami region, the atmospheric conditions will be extremely unstable as warm, humid air from the typhoon flows in.
Towards the evening of today, the 11th (Saturday), heavy rain of up to 30mm per hour, accompanied by thunder, will fall in some places, and depending on the typhoon's path and degree of development, heavy rain warnings may be issued.
Rainfall is predicted to be 80mm in the 24 hours until noon tomorrow, the 12th (Sunday), in some places.
Cumulonimbus clouds will develop locally in southern Kyushu until dawn on Sunday, the 12th, and in the Amami region until noon on Sunday, the 12th, and there is a risk of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and other violent gusts.



#Southern Kyushu/Amami - Very strong winds into the evening
In the Amami region, there are some places in the strong wind area, and there will be very strong winds in the evening today, the 11th (Saturday).
It is expected that strong winds will enter areas in southern Kyushu from today, the 11th (Saturday).
The maximum instantaneous wind speed expected today, the 11th (Saturday), is 35 m/s in the Amami region and 30 m/s in Kagoshima Prefecture (excluding the Amami region), and tomorrow, the 12th (Sunday), is expected to be 25 m/s in the Amami region, and 30 m/s in Kagoshima (excluding the Amami region).

#Southern Kyushu/Amami - Barges with swells
There will be barges with swells in the coastal waters of the Amami region until early evening today, the 11th (Saturday), and in the coastal waters of southern Kyushu, from the afternoon of today, the 11th (Saturday) until dawn on the 12th (Sunday) tomorrow.
The expected wave height for today, the 11th (Saturday) is 5m in the Amami region and 4m in Kagoshima Prefecture (excluding the Amami region), and the expected wave height for tomorrow, the 12th (Sunday) is 3m in the Amami region, and 4m in Kagoshima Prefecture (excluding the Amami region).



#Izu Islands - Please refrain from going out unless necessary on the 13th (Monday).
From tomorrow the 12th (Sunday) to the 13th (Monday), the area is expected to be affected by rain clouds surrounding Typhoon No. 23 and the typhoon itself.
The day after tomorrow, the 13th (Monday), there will be strong winds that could cause injuries from flying objects or overturning moving trucks.
Please refrain from going out unless necessary and be extremely cautious of strong winds, such as staying away from windows when indoors.

Typhoon No. 23 approaches Amami today. Be careful of heavy rain disasters. It is likely to approach the Izu Islands again around the 13th.

2025/10/11 07:11

As of 6:00 a.m. today, Saturday, the 11th, Typhoon No. 23 is located approximately 180 km south-southeast of Amami Oshima, and is mostly stationary with strong winds.

#Typhoon No. 23 11th (Sat) 6:00
==================
Center location Approximately 180km
South-southeast of Amami Oshima Travel Almost stagnant
Central pressure 994 hPa
Maximum wind speed 23 m/s (near the center)
Maximum instantaneous wind speed 35 m/s
==================



As of 6 o'clock, the Amami region is in a strong wind region, and the northerly wind is increasing.
Today, the 11th (Saturday), Typhoon No. 23 is expected to move northward and approach the Amami region in the afternoon. After that, the typhoon will change its course to the northeast and will approach Kagoshima Prefecture (excluding the Amami region) by late evening.



In the Amami region, active rain clouds surrounding the typhoon will gather, and heavy rain of more than 30 mm per hour may fall, leading to warning-level heavy rain. There is a risk of heavy rain in Kagoshima Prefecture, so please be careful of landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, and rising river waters.
Also, the wind is strong and the ship is expected to be barged at sea. You also need to be careful of strong winds and high waves accompanied by swells.


From now on, Typhoon No. 23 will continue to intensify and move off the coast of the Tokai Sea from the south of Japan until the 12th (Sunday) tomorrow, and around the 13th (Monday), it will take a similar course to Typhoon No. 22, accompanied by strong winds, and there is a risk that it will approach the Izu Islands considerably. Atmospheric conditions are expected to be unstable in the Izu Islands even before the typhoon approaches, and in the southern part of the Izu Islands, there are places where the ground is loose due to the record-breaking heavy rains of Typhoon No. 22, so caution and vigilance against heavy rain is necessary even before the typhoon approaches.

Also, there will be strong winds in the Izu Islands on the 13th (Monday) where there is a risk of injury from flying objects and overturning of moving trucks. It is necessary to refrain from going out unless necessary and to take strict precautions against strong winds, such as staying away from windows when indoors.
From tomorrow the 12th (Sunday) to the 13th (Monday) the day after, please be wary of high waves with swells, landslides, flooding of low-lying land, and rising and flooding rivers. Also, please take precautions against landslides from the evening of today, Saturday the 11th, before the typhoon approaches.

Today's weather on the 11th (Saturday): Umbrellas are in use from Tohoku to eastern Japan; warning of increasing rain and wind in the Nansei Islands

2025/10/11 06:23

Today, the 11th (Saturday), Typhoon No. 23 is expected to move northward and approach the Amami region. In the Nansei Islands, you need to be careful about the increasing rain and wind. It's also likely to be a rainy day from Tohoku to eastern Japan, making umbrellas useful.



Typhoon No. 23 is expected to approach Okinawa/Amami. The rain and wind will gradually become stronger, and there is a risk of warning-level heavy rain in Amami. Please be careful of landslides, flooding of low-lying areas, rising river waters, and high waves accompanied by strong winds and swells.

The typhoon is expected to move further north and approach southern Kyushu from late evening. Caution is required as there are places with heavy rain and thunderstorms, especially in Kagoshima Prefecture.

Western Japan's Sea of Japan side will be clear and sunny.As southerly winds from the typhoon flow in, the temperature will rise, with the maximum temperature likely to reach nearly 35c in some places. Please take precautions against heat stroke, such as staying hydrated frequently.

It will be a rainy day in eastern Japan and Tohoku. Unfortunately, it looks like the weather will be bad for going out. Please bring rain gear when going out. Because the wind blows from the north, temperatures will not rise in the Kanto and southern Tohoku regions on the Pacific coast, making it feel chilly. Please be careful when choosing your clothes.

It looks like Hokkaido will be sunny and the weather will be fine for going out. Please be aware of the temperature difference between morning and evening and during the day.

[Typhoon No. 23] Kinki and Kanto areas are in the storm warning area Typhoon + front = heavy rain even before it approaches, affecting outings during the holidays

2025/10/10 12:06

As of 9 a.m. today, October 10th (Friday),
Typhoon No. 23 (Nakuri) is located approximately 190 km northeast of Minami Daito Island and is moving north-northwest at a speed of 20 km/hr.

The central pressure is 1004hPa, the maximum wind speed near the center is 18m/s,
the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 25m/s.



From now on, it will progress northward while developing on the warm sea surface, and
is expected to approach the Amami region tomorrow, Saturday the 11th, the first day of the long weekend.

After that, it will change its course to the east, and from the 12th (Sunday) to the 13th (Monday/holiday) it will move eastward through the south of Japan.

Shikoku, Kinki, Tokai, and Kanto on the Pacific side are also expected to be placed in a "storm warning area" where strong winds may blow.



The characteristic of this typhoon is that the moist air around the typhoon flows towards the front that is stationary near
Honshu, so the rain intensifies even before the
typhoon approaches.



Looking at the rain and wind forecast for noon on Saturday the 11th,
the center of the typhoon will be northeast of Amami, but
rain clouds will also be covering faraway places like Nagoya, Tokyo, and Sendai.

This typhoon is not as strong as Typhoon No. 22, for which a special warning of strong winds and heavy rain was issued for Hachijojima.
The storm is likely to be limited to the area near the center of the typhoon.

However, near the front, the winds collide with each other, so
the wind may become a little stronger.

Even if the typhoon is far away, you need to be careful of the increasing rain and wind.



During the three-day holiday, there will be many places across the country with unstable weather due to typhoons and fronts.

On the 12th (Sunday), heavy rain will occur in southern Kyushu and the Amami region,
requiring vigilance for landslides.

In addition, the moist air around the typhoon will flow towards the front that is stationary in the Sea of Japan,
and the front will become more active.

There is a risk of warning-level heavy rain even in Niigata and other areas along the Sea of Japan.

From the 12th (Sunday) to the 13th (Monday, public holiday), the last day of the long weekend,
Typhoon No.23 may approach the Izu Islands, which was damaged by Typhoon No.22, again.

It seems that there will once again be places in the Izu Islands where there will be strong winds that could cause injuries from flying objects and
running trucks that may overturn.

In the Izu Islands, please refrain from going out unless necessary,
, and be extremely cautious of strong winds by staying away from windows when indoors.

In addition, there is a possibility that the typhoon will develop further in the future, or that its speed may change.

The Pacific coast of western and eastern Japan is now in the storm warning zone, and transportation is likely to be affected in some places during the three-day holiday.

Please continue to check the latest typhoon information and traffic information.
