Its strengthened again, winds are at 145mph and its moving NW at 12mph now. Its suppost to strike southern Japan as a Category two..winds probably ranging from 105mph-110mph. Most problems will be with Flooding and rain but with winds over 100mph, alot of damage can occur. Looking at its projected path..Nagasaki may be alittle east of it it. The western portion of the eyewall could just barely miss Nagasaki.


Looks like a direct hit for Kagoshima, though. Here's the link to Kagoshima Airport, should get interesting by Sunday evening.

That's the JTWC...they pretty much cover the whole area down there...more or less like the TPC here. But instead of life-long specialists staffing the forecast center...it's military forecasters rotating in every year or so.

I wonder how this system is playing in a Japaneese newsgroup/bb if there is such a thing.

The last major typhoon to hit Japan was Bart in 1999.

Super Typhoon Bart struck Okinawa as a Category 5 with sustained winds of 160 mph. Bart then struck Japan as a Category 3.

Both Japan and Okinawa suffered widespread damage.

Bart left at least 26 dead and caused (US) $3.3 billion in damage.

Luckily, I don't think Dianmu will be a repeat of Bart.

I have wonderred the same thing... Like what is the media like in other parts of the world? What is their warning system like? Wording from the JTWC isnt as easy to understand (for people who arent weather geeks) as the NHC's public advisory... Our media would be going nuts with this but they get hit so often in Japan that I wonder if its really even coverred like here.

Well, I would hope that it would be covered there. If anything they should be always prepared because, they get them so much... I think...

Likely is being covered. But remember, JTWC is UNOFFICIAL. Since JMA has been consistent with 70KT at landfall, it likely is being placed in perspective as a significant event, but nothing catastrophic

Dianmu is now down to 105 knots (120 MPH) and Okinawa is feeling its effects: pressure is down to 985 mb with winds between 28-30 MPH out of the north. New forecast calls for a tropical-storm landfall, not typhoon, in Shikoku. Still, some areas like Miyazaki could feel typhoon-force winds as Dianmu passes quite close to them tomorrow afternoon and evening.

Two things. One there has been quite a bit of dry air entrained into Dianmu and their radar has different colorings than ours also.

Dianmu has disintegrated quicker than I expected, subsequently I think it will hit Japan as a minimal typhoon or even a tropical storm. Okinawa should see winds around 100 MPH, sustained.
