A typhoon called Lan hit the west of Japan on Tuesday, triggering evacuation warnings for almost 237,000 people, most of whom are in the western part of the country, as a result of the storm.

In the last few hours, there have been heavy downpours in Tottori and Okayama prefectures due to a storm. As far as we are aware, this was the first time in several years that it has rained in this area. There was more rain in August than usual due to the fact that the weather was unusually hot.
Within the same region of Okayama, in Tottori City alone, a total of 483 millimeters (19 inches) of rain fell, whereas in Kagamino town, within the same region, 461.5 millimeters (18 inches) of rain fell.
NHK reported that tens of thousands of households were left without power as a result of the powerful storm that swept through the area, causing thousands of homes to lose power.

It has been a particularly deadly summer so far in Japan, as it has been in a large number of other Asian countries as well.
During the month of July, there were six deaths in the southwest resulting from flooding and landslides that were caused by excessive rain and flooding.
In the same month, Japan experienced one of the most intense heat waves on record, with some regions experiencing temperatures as high as 39 degrees Celsius (102 degrees Fahrenheit).
