Key Questions Answered
Currently, neither typhoon is expected to make a direct landfall on the Japanese coast, as both are projected to stay over the open ocean far away from Japan's main islands.
Typhoon Number 29 is continuously strengthening near Wake Island, and by October 10, its maximum sustained wind speed could reach up to 45 meters per second, which is about 162 kilometers per hour.
Starting October 10, waves 3 to 4 meters high could rise along the Izu Islands and the Pacific coasts of eastern and western Japan, creating rough sea conditions and high-risk currents for marine workers and visitors.
