Typhoon Trami tracker: Latest spaghetti models as Trami makes landfall with 100mph winds

Trami made landfall near Tanabe City in Wakayama Prefecture in the south of Honshu with 100mph winds at about 12pm BST (8pm local time).

forecasters urged people to stay inside as violent winds, rain, storm surges and heavy surf lashed the city and surrounding regions.

Trami is the fifth to make landfall in this year and the second to make landfall as a “very strong” storm, according to weathernews.jp.

Destructive Typhoon Jebi, which made landfall on September 4, left 17 people dead.

Has anyone been hurt?

Okinawa and Kagoshima, where Trami has already swept through, suffered strong winds causing people to be injured through falls as well as flying glass and debris.

There are no confirmed fatalities but a woman in her 60s was reported missing after disappearing down an irrigation channel while working in a rice paddy field.

Public broadcaster NHK said the number of injured had reached 75 people.

A Japan Meterological Agency update at 12.53pm (8.53pm) said focused winds would hit the Tokyo district within a few hours and flying objects were a danger.

Rainfall of 17 inches has been recorded and forecasts are predicting Trami will intensify in the early hours of Monday morning in Kanto.

Earlier, 3.7 million residents in 19 prefectures were urged to evacuate from their homes.

Mandatory evacuation orders were given to 200,000 people living in 10 prefectures including Osaka and Miyazaki.

Are flights still running?

Kansai International Airport has been shut with more than 1,000 flights cancelled so far.

Bullet trains will not run in either western or eastern Japan, including Tokyo.

Tokyo Metro also announced it would suspend some subway trains ahead of the storm’s arrival.
