Typhoon Nangka remains on a collision course with Japan for later this week, posing significant dangers to lives and property.
Nangka is a powerful typhoon and is expected to continue to
strengthen over the warm waters of the open Pacific Ocean through midweek.
If computer models hold true then Nangka will make landfall at Hiroshima at about 7 AM on Saturday, and directly strike Osaka and Kyoto at 9 AM. Nangka's size means that the major urban areas of Nagoya and Kobe would also be affected by heavy rains causing flooding and high winds.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) hopes that the unusually cool waters on the Pacific coast this year would help slow the storm before making landfall.
