Yun-yeung disrupted railway services and left thousands of homes without power.
TOKYO: Parts of Japan have been deluged by their heaviest daily rains since records began, officials said today, with reports of more than 100 landslides after a tropical storm.
The deluge comes at the end of a rain-sodden week for East Asia, after southern Chinese cities were hit by record-breaking downpours that inundated major cities, and Typhoon Haikui toppled trees and caused flooding in Taiwan.Scientists say climate change is intensifying the risk of heavy rain globally, because a warmer atmosphere holds more water.
In Mobara, “a river near the city hall flooded on Friday and a car that was running nearby had to be rescued”, a city spokesman told AFP.
