Typhoon No. 6 is estimated to be about 100 kilometers west of Tokunoshima at 6:00 pm, and the northern and southern Amami regions are in the storm area. The central pressure is 970 hectopascals, the maximum wind speed is 30 meters, the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 45 meters, and it is moving slowly to the east.

This is the course after this. It moved slowly to the east on the 6th and approached the Amami region considerably. After that, it will change its course to the north, approaching Kyushu on the 8th and 9th, and there is a risk of landing.

The typhoon will develop in the future, and it is likely to become a strong typhoon again on the 7th and 8th. The central pressure at this time is 960 hectopascals, and the maximum instantaneous wind speed is 50 meters.

Then, it is the movement of the rain cloud from the afternoon. The rain clouds surrounding the center of the typhoon hang over the Amami region, and include rain clouds that have developed. In addition, warm and moist air is flowing in from the south, and rain clouds have developed over parts of the Satsuma/Osumi and Tanegashima/Yakushima regions.
