"With Typhoon No. 10 deactivated, Japan prepares for intense rains and flood risks."

Typhoon No. 10, which had battered the Japanese coasts with its destructive potential, has lost its strength and has been downgraded to a tropical depression. However, its meteorological legacy persists, as the atmospheric instability generated continues to threaten various regions of the country. This Sunday, when the storm transformed, a sigh of relief was given to authorities and residents of affected areas, but new complications loom on the horizon. As the week begins, the weather forecast anticipates a considerable increase in precipitation. From the Kinki region to the East and North of Japan, it is expected that the humid air combined with weather fronts will generate heavy rains and thunderstorms. Authorities have spared no effort in warning the public about the possibility of flooding and landslides, situations that can be fatal, especially in areas already weakened by recent rains. Typhoon No. 10 dissipated off the coast of Tokaido, but the humid air emanating from this cloud mass remains active, fueling unstable weather across much of the country. Although some areas of Kanto may experience sunny moments, the rain will not be long in returning, intensifying during the night on Monday. This weather pattern, characterized by its volatility, serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of meteorological phenomena during this time of year. Rainfall estimates are alarming. In Tokai, accumulated rainfall is expected to reach 150 mm, while Kinki and Tohoku could see similar figures of 120 mm. In Kanto-Koshin, projections are at 100 mm, and even in the northern regions, such as Hokuriku and Hokkaido, 80 mm is anticipated. This significant amount of rain could lead to serious infrastructure and safety issues for local communities. The main concern centers on soil saturation, which has already reached high levels in Kanto and Tokai. Meteorologists warn that even light rain could be enough to trigger landslides in previously affected areas. Local authorities have urged residents to take precautionary measures, keeping a safe distance from risk zones like mountains, cliffs, and rivers that could overflow. While some regions struggle with inclement weather, others such as Kyushu, Shikoku, and Chugoku will experience mostly clear skies. During the afternoon, although sporadic rain is expected in some mountainous areas of Shikoku and Chugoku, most of these places will enjoy a calm day, contrasting with the meteorological turmoil experienced in the rest of the country. Despite favorable conditions in western Japan, temperatures are expected to be extremely high, reaching up to 36°C in locations such as Wakamatsu and Yonezawa. This extreme heat, combined with high humidity, could jeopardize the health of residents, leading to cases of heat exhaustion that authorities are closely monitoring. It is crucial for citizens to stay informed about weather conditions and to follow safety guidelines issued by authorities. Prevention is the best strategy against the threat of natural disasters, and each individual has a role to play in protecting their community. As Monday progresses, vigilance must remain active. Warnings of thunderstorms and heavy rains are a clear indication that, although the typhoon has lost its form, its residual impact is far from over. Japan faces a scenario where the weather can be both a challenge and a test of its collective resilience.
