A new typhoon is approaching Japan's Okinawa prefecture and is forecast to track northward toward Tokyo, according to a report from TASS.
Meteorological authorities have warned that the storm's influence could bring heavy rainfall to the Kanto region, the area that includes Tokyo, Japan's capital and most populous city.
The report did not specify the storm's expected intensity, exact timing, or precise path as it moves through the region. Tropical systems approaching the Japanese archipelago are typically accompanied by advisories from local authorities, given the potential for flooding, landslides, and disruption to travel in areas along a storm's projected route.
Japan is regularly affected by typhoons during its annual storm season, with national and local authorities issuing updated forecasts and advisories as systems develop and move through the western Pacific.
