Typhoon Khanun forecast to turn back to Japanese islands where it already caused damage and injuries

Typhoon Khanun forecast to turn back to Japanese islands where it already caused damage and injuries

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.

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.

That forecast would largely spare China, where rain from an earlier typhoon caused deadly flooding and damage this week around the capital, Beijing.

Khanun, which means jackfruit in Thai, had sustained surface winds of 162 kph (100 mph) with higher gusts Thursday evening. Up to 20 centimetres (7.8 inches) of rainfall were expected in the Okinawa region by midday Friday, JMA said.

China and Taiwan were also making preparations for the storm. Though the eye is forecast to stay offshore as the typhoon turns east, winds exceeding 90 kph (56 mph) extended an average radius of 100 kilometres (60 miles), Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau said Thursday afternoon.

China's National Meteorological Center said the typhoon was in the East China Sea about 335 kilometres (208 miles) 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 centre said.

China's weather authorities earlier issued rainstorm alerts for the eastern coast, from Jilin province, near the border with North Korea, to Zhejiang province, south of Shanghai. Ships were called into port and passenger ferry services halted in Zhejiang province.
