Japan's southwestern islands on high alert for Typhoon Bavi

A powerful typhoon named Bavi approached the remote islands of southwestern Japan, prompting authorities to issue warnings about strong winds, heavy rainfall, landslides, and flooding, which could be among the most severe in recent years. The typhoon reached the Sakishima Islands early Friday morning with sustained wind speeds of 162 kilometers per hour. Residents began securing their homes and businesses, with protective nets against wind and windows sealed with adhesive tape visible at many commercial buildings across Ishigaki Island, one of the region's most popular tourist destinations. Supermarkets saw shelves emptied of instant noodles as people stocked up on supplies. Some public beaches, coastal parks, and local ferry terminals were closed. In neighboring Taiwan, financial markets were closed, and work was suspended in much of northern and eastern parts of the island. City authorities in Taipei set up points where residents could collect sandbags to protect against potential floods. While Typhoon Bavi is not expected to directly hit Taiwan, it will bring heavy rain starting late Friday evening before moving toward the Chinese coast and gradually weakening. Taiwanese airline

Southwestern islands of Japan on high alert due to Typhoon Bavi

Tajfun Bavi, koji je bio veći i snažniji nego prosječan, približavao se jugozapadnim otocima Japana, posebno otoku Sakishima, u petak. Vlasti su upozorile na olujne vjetrove, obilne oborine, odrone i poplave, koje bi mogle biti jedne od najteže u tom području posljednjih godina. Stanovnici su počeli osiguravati svoje domove i trgovine, dok su zrakoplovne kompanije otkazale desetke letova u toj regiji. Na otoku Ishigaki, popularnom turističkom lokaciji, stanovnici su stvarali zalihe, ispraznivali policice s instant rezancima, a neke javne mjesta bile su zatvorene. Zaštite protiv vjetra i prozori oblijepljeni ljepljivom trakom bili su vidljivi na brojnim poslovnim objektima. U susjednom Tajvanu su financijska tržišta bila zatvorena, a u nekim dijelovima otoka obustavljen je rad. Gradske vlasti Taipeija su postavile punktove za distribuciju vreća s pijeskom za zaštitu od poplava. Iako se ne očekuje da će tajfun direktno pogoditi Tajvan, očekuje se obilne oborine, a nakon toga će zahvatiti kinesku obalu i postupno slabjeti.
