Typhoon MEGI has passed between the southern part of Korea and the northern part of Kyushu, and is moving on Japan Sea at a relatively high speed. Heavy rainfall already caused disasters especially in the northern part of Shikoku, where rainfall is relatively small. Several people were also killed in Korea due to the heavy rain.
It is forecast to approach to Tohoku and Hokkaido early tomorrow, and precautions against both rain and wind need to be taken because of its relatively high speed with maintaining its intensity.
