Typhoon No. 8 Forms in South China Sea, Expected to Approach Okinawa and Amami After Typhoon No. 7
[Thursday, July 24 – 9:00 a.m.]
Typhoon No. 8 formed over the South China Sea at 9:00 p.m. last night. As of this morning, it is moving south-southeast at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour, located west of the Philippines. The storm currently has a central pressure of 985 hectopascals, with maximum instantaneous wind speeds reaching 35 meters per second.
Violent winds exceeding 25 meters per second are expected to develop by tonight, as the typhoon begins to shift its course northward. It is forecast to continue moving north, drawing closest to Miyako Island in Okinawa at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 26. By 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, July 27, it is expected to weaken into a tropical depression to the west of Amami Ōshima in Kagoshima Prefecture.
Following the impact of Typhoon No. 7, Okinawa and Amami are now bracing for further effects from Typhoon No. 8. From today through Sunday, there is an increased risk of disasters caused by heavy rainfall, strong winds, and high waves. Residents are urged to remain vigilant for potential landslides, flooding in low-lying areas, rapid rises in river levels and overflows, as well as dangerous weather phenomena such as lightning and tornado-like gusts.
