Parts of Japan were slammed by torrential rain on Friday as Typhoon Mawar neared, bringing winds and heavy rain to a wide swathe of the country and prompting authorities to advise tens of thousands to evacuate.
Mawar, which wreaked havoc on Guam earlier this week, has weakened to tropical storm strength from its earlier super typhoon status, and the main body of the storm was expected to pass south of the main island of Honshu as it moved into the Pacific.
Similar weather patterns have caused flooding and landslides in the past, most notably in the summer of 2018, when more than 200 people were killed in western Japan. The JMA issued flood warnings for the Okinawa island chain and parts of Shikoku and Honshu islands, with forecasts of 350 millimetres of rain in parts of western Honshu in the 24 hours up to Saturday morning.

Typhoon Mawar losing strength as it heads toward Japan's Okinawa IslandsTyphoon Mawar appears to be losing force as it heads toward Japan’s Okinawa Islands, after largely skirting Taiwan and the Philippines. Philippine meteorological authorities say Mawar’s strength has dropped, with sustained winds now of 96 mph and gusts of up to 118 mph. Mawar is expected to gradually pick up speed but steadily weaken and may be downgraded to a tropical storm by the time it is predicted to hit the area on Friday. The U.S. military, which has some 20,000 troops stationed on multiple facilities on Okinawa islands, says it will take preparatory action as the storm draws closer. Residents on Japan’s southern Sakishima islands were already preparing for the typhoon when a warning siren woke them up to alert them of a North Korean rocket launch.
