Japan orders evacuations as Typhoon Dolphin approaches, cancels 500 flights

Typhoon Dolphin, a Category 1 storm with maximum sustained winds of 144 kph and gusts up to 198 kph, is approaching southwestern Japan, prompting the evacuation of nearly 260,000 residents in Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures. Over 500 flights have been canceled as the typhoon threatens to bring violent winds, heavy rain, and high waves. Authorities warn of potential structural damage and flooding due to a developing rain band, while the storm is also affecting Kyushu, where some areas are still recovering from a recent magnitude 7.1 earthquake. Approximately 6,700 residents in Kumamoto remain in evacuation centers after many homes collapsed. The Japan Meteorological Agency has also cautioned about heatstroke risks as temperatures are forecasted to reach 36°C.
