Very Strong Typhoon Surigae Moves Near Okinawa, Projected Towards Kanto Region

Typhoon Surigae, classified as a very strong typhoon by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), is moving near Okinawa Prefecture and the Amami islands. Its projected path shows a northeast trajectory towards the Kanto region, potentially making landfall around Thursday as a severe tropical storm. JMA has warned against high waves and violent winds in Okinawa, and the land ministry anticipates heavy rain warnings in western and eastern Japan later this week. The Kanto region is still recovering from last week's Typhoon Dujuan.
