Tropical Storm Dujuan is currently moving along the coast of Japan, having briefly reached typhoon status before weakening. It is forecasted to regain typhoon strength by Tuesday, with sustained winds potentially reaching 80 mph and gusts nearing 100 mph. The Izu Islands are under evacuation warnings as heavy rainfall and flooding are anticipated, particularly in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Rainfall totals could be significant, with some regions expecting up to 200 mm in 24 hours. Meanwhile, the Atlantic hurricane season remains quiet, with Tropical Storm Fay developing but not expected to strengthen further, marking a record for the latest first hurricane formation in the satellite era.
As Dujuan approaches, residents in the Izu Islands and Tokyo should prepare for potential flooding and power outages. Monitor local advisories closely, especially for evacuation updates. Watch for how the storm's trajectory may impact recovery efforts in affected areas.
