Story summary

On September 21, 2026, Typhoon Dujuan approached Japan's Pacific coast, bringing severe weather conditions including torrential rain and violent winds to the Kanto region and eastern parts of the country. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) warned of a heightened risk for landslides and flash floods as the typhoon neared Tokyo and its surrounding prefectures. By September 22, at least two people had died, with four confirmed dead by September 23rd, due to landslides triggered by heavy rainfall; six individuals remained missing.
