In plain language

A tropical cyclone named Dujuan is passing over Japan with maximum winds of 130 kilometers per hour. This Category 1 storm is expected to affect about 71,450 people in areas where buildings are generally strong.

What is a cyclone? Cyclones, known as typhoons in this region, are giant spinning storms that form over warm ocean water. When warm air rises quickly, it creates a space that cooler air rushes into, causing the storm to spin. These systems bring strong winds and heavy rain as they move toward land.

Stay indoors away from windows during the storm and ensure your family has an emergency kit with water, food, and flashlights.
