Due to a stagnant weather front, heavy rainfall is affecting the Sea of Japan side of Japan, particularly from Kyushu in the southwest to the Tohoku region in the northeast. Localized downpours have been reported, causing significant concern.
In areas like Hokuriku (a region on the west coast known for its heavy snowfall and rich culture) and Kyushu (the southernmost of Japan’s four main islands), the ground has become unstable, increasing the risk of landslides and other geological disasters. Authorities are urging residents to remain vigilant even if the rain eases or temporarily stops.
It’s important for people in these regions to stay informed about weather updates and heed any warnings issued by local authorities to ensure their safety.
