Typhoon No. 7 Approaching Okinawa and Amami with Strong Winds and Heavy Rainfall Expected
[Thursday, July 24 – 12:00 a.m.]
As of midnight on July 24, Typhoon No. 7 is moving west-northwest at approximately 20 kilometers per hour, situated to the south of Okinawa. The central pressure is recorded at 994 hectopascals, with maximum instantaneous wind speeds reaching 30 meters per second.
Strong winds of 15 meters per second or more are currently affecting Okinawa’s main island and the southern part of the Amami region. The typhoon is forecast to gradually intensify as it continues its northwestward trajectory.
If the typhoon proceeds along the center of its projected path, it is expected to enter the East China Sea on Friday, July 25, and weaken into a tropical depression near the Chinese mainland coast by Saturday, July 26.
Due to the typhoon’s approach, sea conditions around Okinawa and Amami are expected to become rough with accompanying swells through Friday. There is also a risk of localized torrential rainfall. Authorities warn of the potential issuance of high wave and heavy rain advisories. Residents are urged to stay alert for high surf, landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, and sudden river rises or overflows.
