The extremely powerful Typhoon No. 24 is expected to bring violent winds to an extensive area as it moves quickly across the Japanese archipelago.
Winds blow in a counterclockwise direction toward the typhoon's low-pressure center. Even if the wind blowing into the typhoon itself is the same speed in every direction, it feels different on the ground depending on the typhoon's movement. Winds accelerate on the right side of the typhoon's path, while weakening on the left side.
The typhoon is predicted to be carried by westerly winds and head northeast at a speed of 70 to 80 kph.
Violent winds are expected to hit an area stretching from the Kii Peninsula to the Pacific coast of eastern Japan, located on the right side of the predicted path.
When strong winds blow toward shore from the sea, they will likely cause high waves.
