From Japan Times:

"Western Japan was bracing for the strongest typhoon in 25 years on Monday as Typhoon Jebi took aim at Shikoku.

Jebi, the 21st typhoon of the season, was expected to make landfall on Shikoku or the Kii Peninsula around noon Tuesday, prompting the Meteorological Agency to warn of strong gusts, high waves and heavy downpours.

Categorized as “very strong” by the agency based on its gusts, Jebi will become the strongest typhoon to hit Japan in 25 years if it maintains its current strength, an agency official said at a news conference.

As of 9 p.m. Monday, Jebi was 270 kilometers south of Kagoshima Prefecture’s Tanegashima Island and moving north at 20 kilometers per hour. It had an atmospheric pressure of 945 hectopascals at its center and gusts of up to 216 kph, the agency said.

The typhoon is predicted to travel toward the Sea of Japan on Monday night and move along the coast northwards on Tuesday."
