Typhoon Dujuan Batters Japan With Record Rain and Deadlier Floods
Typhoon Dujuan has killed four people and left six others missing after lashing Japan with record-breaking rain, power outages, and severe flooding. The storm prompted authorities to issue the region's highest-level rain warning for the first time, while landslide alerts and transport paralysis affected thousands. Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways canceled a combined 275 flights, and 7,000 travelers were stranded at Narita Airport in Chiba prefecture. More than 45,000 houses lost power as the system, the 25th typhoon of the season, moved near the Tokyo area.
Why it matters
Japan frequently faces severe late-summer and early-autumn typhoons, but this event follows a period of extreme precipitation that included a record 37-day stretch of rain in Tokyo. Eastern Japan also observed its highest amount of rain for September since data became available in 1946, alongside the lowest sunlight levels for the month. These compounding weather extremes severely strain urban transport networks, aviation hubs, and regional infrastructure.
What is confirmed
- Typhoon Dujuan left four people dead and six missing after lashing Japan.
- Japan Airlines cancelled 135 flights and All Nippon Airways scrapped 140 flights.
- Record rainfall stranded 7,000 travellers at Tokyo's Narita Airport in Chiba prefecture.
- Authorities issued the region's highest-level rain warning for the first time.
Still unconfirmed
- The storm death toll reached 12 people according to unverified video claims.

- Recovery efforts and flight schedule resumptions at Narita Airport
- Official updates on the search for the six missing individuals
- Restoration timelines for power outages affecting tens of thousands of houses

Typhoon Dujuan Kills 5 and Disrupts Japan Transport
Typhoon Dujuan killed 5 people and forced evacuation advisories for over 1.6 million people across Japan. The storm caused massive transport failures, including 275 flight cancellations by ANA and Japan Airlines on Monday and the mid-storm suspension of the Tokyo-Osaka bullet train. Floodwaters submerged Kamakura station and forced the Tokyo Game Show to end early. This event is the 25th typhoon to hit Japan this year, with rainfall levels threatening to exceed monthly September records as recovery efforts continue.
Why it matters
Typhoons are tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 119 km/h that form in the Northwestern Pacific Basin. Japan hosts the Regional Specialized Meteorological Center responsible for forecasting these systems. This activity occurs against a backdrop of a record El Nino, which historical trends suggest can trigger landslides and wildfires.

- Japan Airlines and ANA cancelled 275 flights on Monday.
- Typhoons are tropical cyclones that produce sustained winds of at least 119 km/h.
