Western Japan faces floods as two storms near
The approach of the tropical storms "Mekala" and "Higos" caused widespread flooding and significant damage in western and southwestern Japan, with authorities issuing evacuation orders for more than a million people. Heavy rains elevated the level of Kamo River in Kyoto and flooded areas in Nara and Hiroshima, while Osaka recorded its highest rainfall since 2021. This resulted in transportation disruptions, the cancellation of over 100 flights, and factory closures. The Japan Meteorological Agency also raised the warning level to emergency status due to the risks of landslides and flooding.
