Japan urges 200,000 people to evacuate due to heavy rain
The Straits Times|November 03, 2024
Nearly 200,000 people in western Japan were urged to evacuate on Nov 2 as the authorities warned of landslides and floods, while the remnants of a tropical storm trickled over the country.

The Japan Meteorological Agency said "warm, moist air... was causing heavy rainfall with thunderstorms in western Japan" partly due to Kong-rey, which was downgraded to an extra-tropical low-pressure system from a typhoon.

The city of Matsuyama "issued the top-level warning, urging 189,552 residents in its 10 districts to evacuate and immediately secure safety", a city official told AFP.
