As Typhoon Shanshan bore down on Japan, seasoned storm chaser James Reynolds braved the elements to get a firsthand experience of the storm's fury. He shares his insight with The Japan Times. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/03/japan/society/typhoon-chaser-qa/ #japan #society #typhoon #typhoonshanshan #jamesreynolds #meteorologicalagency

Tropical Storm Shanshan continues to crawl over northern Kyushu, causing widespread torrential rain across the nation, including in the Kanto and Tokai region, with multiple rivers in and around Tokyo threatening to spill their banks. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/30/japan/typhoon-shanshan-friday/ #japan #typhoons #meteorologicalagency #landslides #typhoonshanshan #rail #shinkansen #kyushu #miyazaki #kagoshima #kanto #tokyo #saitama #kanagawa

Typhoon Shanshan, which is being called one of the strongest typhoons in Japanese history, made landfall near Satsumasendai, Kagoshima Prefecture, on Thursday morning just after 8 a.m. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/29/japan/typhoon-shanshan-thursday/ #japan #typhoons #meteorologicalagency #landslides #typhoonshanshan #rail #shinkansen #kyushu #miyazaki #kagoshima

The Kyushu region is bracing for the likely landfall of the slow-moving but powerful Typhoon Shanshan, with heavy rain already impacting a wide area of Japan and causing a landslide in Aichi Prefecture. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/28/japan/typhoon-shanshan-wednesday/ #japan #typhoons #meteorologicalagency #landslides #typhoonshanshan #disasters

Tokaido Shinkansen services resumed Saturday, a day after operations between Tokyo and Nagoya were halted and trains between Nagoya and Shin-Osaka were severely curtailed by Typhoon Ampil. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/17/japan/typhoon-ampil-shinkansen-resume-saturday/ #japan #typhoons #typhoonampil #meteorologicalagency #obon #tohoku #kanto #izuislands #rail #shinkansen

Typhoon Ampil is set to brush past eastern Japan on Friday as a “very strong” storm — on par with a Category 2 hurricane — threatening to bring damaging winds and torrential rain to a wide area. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/16/japan/typhoon-ampil-severe-storm/ #japan #typhoons #typhoonampil #meteorologicalagency #obon #tohoku #kanto #izuislands

Typhoon Ampil is strengthening in the Pacific as it moves north toward Japan, with the storm set to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the Izu Islands and coastal areas of the Kanto and Tohoku regions. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/08/15/japan/typhoon-ampil-thursday-outlook/ #japan #typhoons #typhoonampil #meteorologicalagency #obon #tohoku #kanto #izuislands
