Japan Braces for Powerful Typhoon Ampil

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has issued new warnings as a powerful typhoon is expected to approach western and eastern Japan on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The impending storm could lead to the suspension of high-speed train services in several regions as a precautionary measure.

Japanese media reports indicate that the JMA has warned of potential lightning, strong winds, hail, and heavy rainfall over the weekend, preceding the arrival of the tropical storm.

These adverse weather conditions are expected to begin today and continue through Sunday.

Tokyo and its surrounding areas have already experienced heavy rainfall in recent days, leading to flooded roads and disruptions to train services.

This follows the impact of Typhoon Ampil last week, which caused significant disruptions in the Japanese capital, including the suspension of high-speed train services and the cancellation of hundreds of international and domestic flights.

As Japan braces for another round of severe weather, authorities are urging residents to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
