Typhoon approaches Tokyo area

Rising covid cases during opening and typhon during Olympic closing, there are lot of external event during Olympics.

Let’s put aside the pettiness of *someone’s ‘*nationalism’ for the day and hope every one of Japan’s visitor’s makes it to their homes safely.

Well, typhoons use to be worship as the divine wind that brough Japan victory in the past. As the typhoon is not even making landfall so i guess is kinda fitting for it's arrival as the final day of the olympics. Japan did break it's historic record of gold medals.

Hope everyone stay well and go back home safely. Thanks for all the athletes participation and hard work. See you all in Paris 2024.

Isn't it just a tropical storm?

I guess mother nature wants to clean up Japan's act with this storm.

Our weather service update their forecast every 4 hours,has the closing ceremony in a driving rain ,would be the icing in the cake

Very lucky for the athletics. Imagine running in a typhoon.

Did this create the Typhoon? Not sure how you're relating this to the Typhoon, but blaming the Olympics for it is a new level.

It seems that Japan does not get tired of bad news.

Maybe rehold the surfing competition down in Nijima ..could be some monster waves .....

The other one (not mentioned in the article) is cutting right across Kyūshū, the Inland Sea, and across the western Chūgoku end of Honshū tonight and through into tomorrow morning.

PS The wind and rain the second one is bringing will cover most of Japan.

Did it already pass? It barely drizzled this afternoon..

Isn't it just a tropical storm? Isn't it a typhoon? Ah. Both. One of each. Headed to Tokyo.

South East Yamaguchi is getting pounded by heavy rain and wind right now. Worst is yet to come!

We’re getting hammered now, right across Shikoku and Chūgoku… and it’s lights out for now. I’ve adjusted the windows, but I’m ready to jump up and deal with unexpected stuff.

Stay safe everyone.
