Authorities are closely monitoring Typhoon No. 23 as it approaches the region. While the storm may later shift its path eastward, the extent of its northward movement remains uncertain. Officials are urging the public to stay alert for updates on the typhoon’s course.
As of the afternoon of October 8th, Typhoon No. 23 was located east of the Philippines with a central pressure of 1002 hectopascals. It is producing maximum sustained winds of 18 meters per second, with gusts reaching up to 25 meters per second.
The storm is projected to move northward and approach the vicinity of Amami around October 11th before veering northeast. After this, it is forecast to track eastward, passing south of Japan’s main islands.
Unlike Typhoon No. 22 (Halong), Nakri (Typhoon No. 23) is not expected to intensify significantly, although some strengthening is possible. Satellite imagery shows Typhoon No. 22 currently closer to Japan, and Nakri is expected to follow a similar path.
Between October 12th and 13th, depending on atmospheric conditions, Nakri could once again approach the area near the Izu Islands. The Izu Islands are already being affected by Typhoon No. 22, and forecasts indicate the possibility of another round of severe weather a few days later as Typhoon No. 23 approaches.
Residents in the affected areas are advised to stay informed and prepare for potential impacts from the approaching typhoon. Updates will be provided as the situation develops.
