Heavy Rain and Landslide Risk in Kanagawa Through September 8

Kanagawa Prefecture is experiencing unstable atmospheric conditions on September 7, prompting the Yokohama Local Meteorological Observatory to warn of potential landslides and flooding in low-lying areas. Heavy rain is expected, with up to 40 millimeters per hour forecast for both eastern and western regions. A Level 4 landslide warning has been issued for Miura City as of noon. The observatory advises caution through September 8 regarding landslides, inundation, and rising river levels, while also urging preparedness for lightning and strong gusts like tornadoes. Residents are encouraged to move indoors if developing cumulonimbus clouds approach. The unstable weather is attributed to a front and warm, moist air flowing into the region.
