The maximum gust speed is forecast to reach around 250 kilometers per hour in the typhoon’s center – strong enough to bring down houses. Bands of heavy rain clouds are expected to develop over Kagoshima and the neighboring prefecture of Miyazaki through Wednesday night. This could suddenly increase the risk of a disaster.
