Keeping my fingers crossed it will be all over in a couple of weeks time.

It's been an usual typhoon season, started very late and the first one to make landfall in the Kanto area for 11 years...

Typhoon anyone? Take your pick.

So, that Typhoon number 10 (the one with the red circles... well it wandered off to the southwest, but apparently... it likes Japan so much it's coming back, current predictions are for the 30th.

Westy, fwiw most of the nasty wet weather this season is going on from about the Tokai region and moving to the east and north. The weather is sunnier in Kansai and western Japan this year.

Let's hope the weather will get better soon. I will be arriving in Japan in mid-September and staying in Kanto until the end of the month.

I've been looking at the 15 day forecasts and although the typhoon will have moved on the weather during our first week in the Kansai and Kanto areas ranges from showers to thunder storms.

Today JR Hokkaido reduced or suspended services on many lines because of Typhoon No. 10. On the Nemuro Main Line the Shitashintokugawa Bridge near Shintoku station collapsed, as did the No.1 Bihorogawa Bridge between Shintoku and Tokachi-Shimizu, the Shimizugawa Bridge between Tokachi-Shimizu and Haobi, and the Memurogawa Bridge between Mikage and Memuro.
