Japan orders evacuations as Typhoon Dolphin approaches, cancels 500 flights

Typhoon Dolphin, a Category 1 storm with maximum sustained winds of 144 kph, is approaching Japan's Okinawa and Kyushu regions, prompting evacuation orders for nearly 260,000 residents in Kagoshima and Okinawa prefectures. Over 500 flights have been canceled due to the storm's potential impact, which includes violent winds, heavy rain, and high waves. Toyota has suspended operations at nine factories in the affected area. Authorities warn of structural damage risks and possible flooding from a developing rain band. The storm is also affecting Kyushu, where some 6,700 residents remain in evacuation centers following last week's magnitude 7.1 earthquake. Heatstroke risks are also highlighted as temperatures are forecasted to reach up to 36°C.
