Typhoon No. 24 (Fung-shen) Moves Toward Vietnam, Heavy Rain Forecast For Japan

Meteorologists expect the typhoon to shift its course slightly southward before coming ashore in Vietnam, likely with reduced strength upon landfall. However, the storm’s rain clouds are expected to remain highly active, bringing the risk of heavy rainfall to affected regions. Because the system is moving westward, it is not expected to have a direct impact on Japan. However, a large mass of clouds northeast of the typhoon, influenced by a weather front and moist air, is forecast to bring significant rainfall to parts of Japan through October 21st. Weathernews is urging the public to stay alert for updates on rainfall conditions, even if they are unrelated to the typhoon’s direct path. Source: ウェザーニュース
