According to storm news, the latest low pressure from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC), the tropical depression in the Pacific Ocean has officially strengthened into a storm. The storm's name is Amanda.
As of this morning, June 4, the storm's center is in the eastern Pacific region. The storm is moving in a West-Northwest direction at a speed of about 15 km/h. The strongest wind near the storm's center reaches 65 km/h.
It is forecast that the storm will reach its maximum intensity tomorrow, June 5, with maximum winds of 95 km/h. After that, storm Amanda will gradually weaken into a tropical depression and dissipate at sea.
Due to being far from the mainland, the storm did not affect the adjacent mainland areas.
Meanwhile, Typhoon Jangmi is gradually weakening in the northern Pacific Ocean. The typhoon is currently located about 128km southeast of Narita airport.
In the past 6 hours, Typhoon Jangmi has moved in the East-Northeast direction at a speed of 56km/h. The strongest wind near the storm center reached 95 km/h. The maximum wave height reached 9.1m.
Typhoon Jangmi is gradually turning into an extratropical depression due to moving into an area with strong heat contrast in the North. Forecast model data shows that the transition to an extratropical depression will be completed in about 12 hours.
After a period of sweeping through the mainland in southern Japan, the storm no longer has a major impact on the mainland areas of this country.
Previously, Typhoon Jangmi caused widespread heavy rain in Japan, injuring at least 15 people in Okinawa before making landfall in Wakayama Prefecture. Heavy rain flooded many roads, caused landslides, fallen trees and forced authorities to issue landslide warnings as well as evacuation orders in many localities from Kyushu to Kanto, including Tokyo.
Traffic was seriously affected when a series of railway lines had to be temporarily suspended or canceled, while about 760 domestic flights and more than 90 international flights were canceled. Many areas recorded streets and subway stations flooded due to prolonged heavy rain.
