July 7, 2022

Typhoon is a regionally specific name for a strong Tropical Cyclone.
A tropical cyclone is a generic term used by meteorologists to describe a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or subtropical waters and has closed, low-level circulation.
A typhoon made landfall in Japan’s Nagasaki prefecture, bringing with it torrential downpours and thunder amid unstable atmospheric pressure in the eastern and northern parts of the country.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) has warned that Aere could trigger landslides, rough seas, flooding in low-lying areas as rivers breach their banks, as well as warning of thunder and lightning strikes.
The slow-moving typhoon that is forecast to be downgraded to an extratropical low-pressure system, is moving slowly eastward toward western and central parts of Japan.
Typhoon Aere, had an atmospheric pressure of 1,000 hectopascals at its center and was packing winds up to 90 km per hour.
The Regional Specialized Meteorological Centre (RSMC) Tokyo – Typhoon Centre assigns the name for a tropical cyclone.
