Remnants of Typhoon No. 30 Bring Heavy Rain and Travel Disruptions to Japan

The remnants of Typhoon No. 30, now an extratropical low-pressure system, are causing warning-level rainfall across a broad area of Japan through October 27, with significant impacts expected for commuters in western Japan on Monday morning, October 26. Rainfall totals could reach 250 millimeters in parts of Shikoku and 200 millimeters in northern Kyushu. This heavy rain is threatening railway services, flights, and highways from Kyushu to the Tokyo region, and has already led to ferry cancellations to southwestern islands.
