Typhoon season persists in October with three active storms, but Yamaguchi sees calm weather ahead

Typhoon season continues into October with three active typhoons, including Typhoon No. 28, which became a "cross-border" typhoon after transitioning from a hurricane. The typhoons are not expected to approach Honshu, and Yamaguchi Prefecture will see calm weather for now. Typhoon No. 27 is moving northward east of the Ogasawara Islands, while Typhoons No. 28 and 29 formed on Monday. No. 28 crossed the International Date Line, changing its designation from hurricane to typhoon, marking the first such event since Typhoon No. 8 in 2023. Typhoons No. 28 and 29 may approach the Ogasawara Islands by the weekend but are unlikely to reach Honshu. However, high waves and swells along the Pacific coast require caution. Yamaguchi Prefecture will experience stable weather, with cooler mornings later this week.
