In addition to the impact of Typhoon Nari, Japanese weather experts said that rain clouds are developing in western Japan, partly due to the influence of the tropical depression near Kyushu.

The agency warned that the risk of water-related disasters could increase rapidly, and warned people to be vigilant against flooding in low-lying areas and landslides.

Within 1 hour to 8 a.m. on July 14, 52mm of rain fell on Ino town, Kochi prefecture, and 32mm of rain was recorded in Tamana city, Kumamoto prefecture.
The tropical depression is forecast to gradually weaken while the low pressure system will move northward across the Sea of Japan.

The expected rainfall in the 24 hours to the morning of July 15 could reach 200mm in the Tokai and Shikoku areas, 180mm in the Kinki area, 80mm in Chugoku and the southern Kyushu area.
