Summary

edit
Description
English: Less than one week after Typhoon Khanun charted a zigzagging course toward southern Japan, the country was preparing for yet another major storm—Typhoon Lan.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this true-color image at 1:30 p.m. local time (04:30 Universal Time) on August 14, 2023. Around that time, winds were sustained at about 160 kilometers (100 miles) per hour—the equivalent of a Category-2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson wind scale.

Forecasts called for Typhoon Lan to reach Japan on August 15, 2023, and then move toward the cities of Osaka and Kyoto. In addition to heavy rain and high winds, the Japan Meteorological Agency warned of floods, storm surge, and landslides. Airlines and railways cancelled services ahead of the storm.
