As of June 5, 2026, Typhoon Jangmi continues to sweep along Japan’s Pacific coast, bringing strong winds and heavy rain that have injured at least 40 people in central and western prefectures.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), Jangmi made landfall near Shizuoka City on the afternoon of June 3, then tracked northeast along the coast. Maximum sustained winds near the center reached 126 km/h, accompanied by torrential rainfall that flooded many areas.
In Kanagawa Prefecture, a 70-year-old man was injured when a tree fell on his home. In Chiba Prefecture, three people were hurt by shattered glass from high-rise buildings. Numerous flights and train services were canceled or delayed, including partial disruptions to the Tokaido Shinkansen line.
Local authorities issued evacuation orders for more than 200,000 residents in coastal areas across four prefectures. Traffic lights and many power poles toppled, leaving over 50,000 households without electricity.
Although the storm weakened to a tropical depression by the morning of June 5, the JMA continues to warn of landslides and flash floods in mountainous prefectures due to the heavy accumulated rainfall over recent days.
