Typhoon DAMREY is moving west in Yellow Sea, and is expected to make landfall somewhere from Jiangsu Province and Shandong Province. Due to the compact size of the typhoon, it keeps its structure and intensity even inside Yellow Sea, which is relatively small to the size of the typhoon. The satellite image below shows the well-organized spiral shape of the typhoon, and this indicates that strong winds are expected near the place of landfall.

Typhoon DAMREY is moving west in south of Honshu Island, and is forecast to draw near to the south of Kyushu. This typhoon does not have large thick clouds around the center at this moment, but it may cause heavy rains by wet air brought by the wind of the typhoon, and raised at mountains (with slopes open to southeast). Typhoons coming from this direction is not frequent, so it may cause hazard at places different from usual ones.
