Two tropical storms, identified as Severe Tropical Storm Mekkhala and another unnamed storm, are currently approaching Japan. Mekkhala, previously a typhoon, is bringing strong winds of up to 144 km/h and heavy rainfall. These storms are exacerbating a seasonal rain front already present over the country, leading to significant downpours and flooding in western Japan. As a result of the approaching storms and adverse weather conditions, Japanese airlines have cancelled over 100 flights. Authorities have also issued advisories for evacuations in some regions due to the increased risk of flooding and landslides. The situation highlights the immediate impact of severe weather events on transportation and public safety in Japan.
