Typhoon Dujuan triggers flood, landslide warnings in Japan

Published : Monday, 21 September, 2026 at 8:30 PM

Observer Online Report

A powerful typhoon was approaching Japan’s eastern coast on Monday, prompting flood and landslide warnings, evacuation advisories and emergency alerts across several areas.

Typhoon Dujuan was packing winds of up to 144 kilometres per hour as it remained about 110 kilometres from Hachijojima, one of Tokyo’s remote islands.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued its highest-level, level 5 emergency warning for the Izu Islands, urging residents to immediately ensure their safety amid a potentially life-threatening situation.

More than one million people were reportedly under evacuation advisories as the storm was forecast to pass close to the Tokyo metropolitan area later on Monday.

The JMA warned that rainfall through Tuesday could exceed the average monthly rainfall for September and potentially break records.

Authorities also warned of the formation of linear rain bands over central Japan and the Kanto region, which includes Tokyo and surrounding prefectures. Such bands can bring torrential rain to narrow areas for several hours, increasing the risk of flash floods and landslides.

Parts of the Izu Islands and Chiba prefecture had already experienced heavy rainfall over the weekend.

More than 4,000 households in Chiba were without electricity as the typhoon approached.

Dujuan is Japan’s 25th typhoon of the year.
