Typhoon Dujuan deaths rise to four as Tokyo records rain streak
Typhoon Dujuan killed four people and forced over 1.6 million residents to evacuate in Japan's Kanto region. The storm caused widespread infrastructure failure, including the suspension of the Tokyo-Osaka bullet train and 275 flight cancellations by ANA and Japan Airlines. Floodwaters inundated Kamakura station and forced the Tokyo Game Show to close early. This weather event follows a record-breaking period of precipitation in the capital, where rain fell for 37 consecutive days between August 27 and October 2.
Why it matters
The storm hit a region already saturated by an unprecedented rain streak. Tokyo's 37-day rainfall period broke a 2019 record of 33 days. This saturation likely increased the risk of flooding during the typhoon.
What is confirmed
- Tokyo recorded rain for 37 straight days from August 27 to October 2.
- The 37-day rain streak in Tokyo broke a previous 33-day record set in 2019.

The disaster produced record rainfall that breached embankments and caused widespread flooding.

Typhoon Dujuan Departs Japan After Battering Tokyo
Typhoon Dujuan has moved away from Japan after striking Tokyo and surrounding areas with torrential rains, destructive winds, and fatal landslides. The disaster produced record rainfall that breached embankments, caused widespread flooding across the Kanto region, damaged buildings, and left thousands of households without electricity. Emergency search and rescue teams continue operating in the affected areas. This severe weather event represents the 25th major storm to hit Japan this year.

Approximately 75 percent of the country is mountainous and heavily forested, which concentrates its urban population and agriculture along coastal plains and leaves it vulnerable to frequent natural disasters.
