The storm is forecast to pass Wakayama on Wednesday morning, June 3, brush past Tokyo and the Kanto coast by evening, and weaken into an extratropical cyclone by Thursday, June 4.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) announced that Typhoon Jangmi was located approximately 40 kilometres south-southeast of Nichinan, Miyazaki Prefecture, as of 6 PM on Tuesday, June 2. Tracked officially as Typhoon No. 6, the system is moving northeast at a speed of 40 kilometres per hour across the Pacific coast. The early-season weather system has triggered regional evacuation orders and extensive transport disruptions as it advances toward the heavily populated Kanto region.

Downgrade Timeline and Regional Background
The JMA expects the Typhoon Jangmi system to lose its tropical characteristics shortly after clearing the eastern edge of the Japanese mainland. Current forecast models indicate that the typhoon will weaken and transition into an extratropical cyclone over cooler northern waters by Thursday afternoon, June 4.
The early June arrival of Typhoon Jangmi has altered typical seasonal expectations, as the standard peak window for severe typhoons in mainland Japan normally runs from August through September. In anticipation of the heavy precipitation and high winds tracking toward major transport corridors, authorities have already initiated substantial preventative domestic flight cancellations and issued level 4 flood danger alerts for multiple river systems across Miyazaki Prefecture.
