After making landfall in Japan, Typhoon Malakas brought heavy rainfall to Kyushu, causing rivers in Miyazaki Prefecture to swell. A record-breaking 578 mm of rain accumulated within 24 hours, resulting in flooding that affected 630,000 evacuees, led to the cancellation of at least 181 flights, and disrupted Shinkansen services. There were also reports of injuries and missing persons. The Japan Meteorological Agency urged residents to take strict typhoon precautions, and travelers to Japan are advised to monitor the storm’s developments.
