Typhoon Khanun forecast to turn back to Japanese islands where it already caused damage and injuries
Associated PressTOKYO — The typhoon that damaged homes and knocked out power on Okinawa and other southern Japanese islands this week was slowly moving west Thursday but is forecast to make a U-turn and dump even more rain on the archipelago. Typhoon Khanun, now in the waters between China and Japan’s southwestern islands, is expected to slow to nearly stationary movement before a weakening high pressure system nearby allows it to turn east Friday, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. Though the eye is forecast to stay offshore as the typhoon turns east, winds exceeding 90 kph extended an average radius of 100 kilometers, Taiwan’s Central Weather Bureau said Thursday afternoon. China’s National Meteorological Center said the typhoon was in the East China Sea about 335 kilometers southeast of Yuhuan City on Thursday afternoon and was expected to bring strong wind and rain to the region’s coast within hours. The typhoon’s intensity would gradually weaken as it is expected to turn east toward Japan overnight, the meteorological center said.
