Typhoon SONCA is now passing in south of Chichi-jima, Ogasawara. It has already weakened, so its effect may be limited. It seems, however, that Ogasawara has entered into the typhoon season in as early as April. Typhoons that have passed near Ogasawara can be searched from Search by Place (Latitude / Longitude), and the result shows that there were a few typhoons passing near Ogasawara in April.
