Typhoon Dujuan has killed two people in Japan and caused widespread flooding, landslides and travel disruption near Tokyo, according to Al Jazeera, citing Japanese authorities and the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA).
The storm prompted evacuation advisories for more than 1.6 million people. On Monday, it brought winds of about 144 kilometres per hour while passing 130 kilometres south of Katsuura, cutting power to thousands of households.
Storm moves northeast over the Pacific
By early Tuesday, Dujuan had moved away from Japan’s eastern coast and was heading northeast across the Pacific towards the Aleutian Islands, with its winds slightly weakening, the JMA said.
“There’s a risk the rain will continue as the typhoon moves north,” JMA official Takuya Hosomi said in areas where warnings remained in effect.
The agency had warned that rainfall through Tuesday could exceed the average monthly rainfall for September and result in record-breaking downpours.
