The expected oceanic and atmospheric characteristics summarized based on the numerical forecast results. The dotted line indicates the location of the normal year. Pink is where sea water temperatures are high. Both the Pacific High and the Tibetan High are extending to the north, so it may be difficult to determine the path of this year’s typhoons (from the Japan Meteorological Agency website). When you hear words like “unstable atmospheric conditions” in the weather forecast, there is a possibility of a sudden change in the weather. When the rain actually intensifies, it is a good idea to check the “Kikkilu” to see how dangerous it currently is and use it as a reference for evacuation.
