On October 30, a front will sit near Japan’s southern coast, bringing some unsettled weather, while a low-pressure system moves east. Northern Japan will also see some low-pressure effects. By October 31, high pressure from the Primorsky region will start to shift over Japan, bringing some clearer conditions.

From October 31 to November 3, the front will slowly move north, reaching western and eastern Japan. Typhoon Kong-rey might approach Honshu, pulling in warm, humid air that could make weather conditions stormier in parts of eastern and western Japan. Around November 3, the typhoon is likely to weaken as it heads east, while high pressure builds from the continent, temporarily bringing clearer, cooler air.

Expect a mix of rain and wind in many areas, especially in the east and west, with warmer, humid air when the typhoon nears.

No typhoon warnings have been issued for the Tokyo area this week. However, Typhoon Kong-rey is picking up southwest of the Japanese archipelago.

As Typhoon Kong-rey approaches, Okinawa and Amami may experience rough seas from October 30 to around November 1, along with potential severe winds, heavy rain, and high tides, depending on the typhoon's path. Around November 1, the front near Honshu is likely to become more active due to the typhoon’s approach.

In western Japan, warm, moist air may bring intense rainfall, potentially reaching warning levels. By November 2, heavy rain could spread to eastern Japan as the typhoon moves north, with the possibility of high total rainfall in the region.

Japan's typhoon season runs from May through October, with most activity from July to September. During a typhoon, transit delays and cancelations can be expected.
