20.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Typhoon Dujuan Neared Kanto
⌨

Morning papers kept Typhoon No.25 (Dujuan) as top story, warning of warning-level rain from Sunday and 300mm forecast for Kanto-Izu through Tuesday noon, with road flooding risk and holiday transport disruption.

Attention broke mid-afternoon to North Korea firing a suspected ballistic missile, assessed fallen outside the EEZ, with PM Takaichi ordering preparedness; hours later a second launch followed, described as short-range missiles toward the Sea of Japan, drawing Tokyo protest.

By night focus returned to weather as rain intensified: evacuation order for Oshima town, Level 4 flood danger warning for Tokyo's Zenpukuji River, Level 4 landslide warning in Minamiboso, and linear rainband advance forecast for Kanto-Koshin and Tokai ahead of closest approach Monday.
