Latest satellite image shows the eye of Nangka has made landfall near the city of Muroto in the island of Shikoku. Strong winds and heavy rains are affecting much Western Shikoku and parts of the Kansai Region in the island of Honshu. Stormy conditions will continue spreading north and east as Nangka moves farther inland.
Radar Image from JMA
Latest radar image from JMA shows the eye of Nangka along with the bands of moderate to heavy rains, especially along the eastern half of the circulation. Some of these bands can drop as much as 80mm of rainfall in just one hour. We are already seeing accumulations past 100mm in the past 24 hours and we could see way more than that in the next 12 to 36 hours. Some computer models showing the possibility of isolated spots receiving nearly 1,000mm of rain!
