Severe Tropical Storm Jangmi swept across Japan on Wednesday, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and widespread disruption to transport, businesses, and daily life across multiple regions.
The storm’s centre was located off Japan’s main island of Honshu as it moved northeast toward the Tokyo metropolitan area, with maximum sustained winds reaching about 25 metres per second, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. Officials warned that areas along the Pacific coast face an increasing risk of dangerous weather conditions.
Authorities reported that around 60,000 households lost electricity, while at least 15 people sustained minor injuries as the storm triggered flooding, fallen trees, landslides, and scattered debris across several prefectures.
Evacuation advisories were issued for hundreds of thousands of residents in eight prefectures, spanning southwestern, central, and eastern Japan. Emergency officials urged people in at-risk areas to evacuate early if conditions worsen.
Transport systems were heavily affected. Nearly 900 domestic and international flights were cancelled, disrupting travel for tens of thousands of passengers. Railway operators also suspended or delayed services, including sections of Japan’s high-speed bullet train network.
Major companies including Toyota and Suzuki temporarily halted operations at several domestic plants before planning gradual resumptions later in the day.
Singapore Airlines also adjusted several flights between Singapore and Japanese cities, including Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, due to the storm’s impact on airport operations.
Officials continue to monitor the situation as Jangmi tracks along the Pacific coast, warning that further flooding and disruption remain possible as the storm moves through eastern Japan.
