Typhoon Jangmi's Intensification Threatens Japan with Heavy Rainfall
Typhoon Jangmi, a significant storm system, is moving north-northwest across the Philippine Sea towards southern Japan. The storm, which began in late May 2026, has intensified, with sustained winds reaching 130 kilometers per hour. Satellite images captured by the VIIRS instrument on the NOAA-20 satellite show the storm's large eye and extensive cloud bands. As Jangmi approaches Japan, its rainbands are delivering heavy rainfall, raising concerns about flooding, particularly along Japan's Pacific coast. The storm is expected to pass near Okinawa and then turn northeast towards the Amami region, continuing to pose a threat with its heavy rains and strong winds.
