• At 6 a.m. local time on Oct. 11, the storm was nearly stationary about 180 km south-southeast of Amami Oshima with central pressure around 994 hPa and maximum winds of 23 m/s.
• Forecast guidance indicates a turn to the northeast, passing off Shikoku on Oct. 12 and approaching the Izu Islands on Oct. 13 with a developing gale area and the potential for violent winds.
• Rainfall projections call for heavy totals in Kyushu’s south and Amami into Oct. 12, while the Izu Islands could see about 100 mm by Saturday morning and a further 200 mm through Sunday morning.
• High seas are expected across Okinawa, Amami, and Kyushu’s southern coast, with wave heights reaching roughly 4–6 meters and the risk of coastal flooding where tides run high.
• The Japan Meteorological Agency urges early preparedness, warning that areas hit by Typhoon 22 remain susceptible to landslides and flooding, and advising the Izu Islands to avoid nonessential travel on Oct. 13; some Okinawa ferry services are already canceled or delayed, while airlines reported no cancellations as of the latest local updates.
