Typhoon Jangmi Disrupts Singapore-Japan Flights, Leaves Japan Struggling With Heavy Winds, Power Outages, And Travel Chaos

Tropical Storm Jangmi, also identified as Typhoon No. 6, caused widespread disruption across Japan on June 2, 2026, resulting in multiple injuries, significant power outages, and the rescheduling of international flights.

Reporting from CNA indicates that the storm has injured nine people. The weather system has also left thousands of residents without electricity as the storm moved across the archipelago.

The Japan Times and NHK WORLD-JAPAN report that the storm brought heavy wind and rain to a wide area of the country. Local authorities have monitored the system as it intensified, with weather services warning of the storm’s capacity to lash multiple regions simultaneously.

According to News On Japan, the storm has caused travel disruptions throughout the country as it approached the Kansai region. The proximity of the storm to this densely populated area has led to increased alerts for residents and travelers in the vicinity.

The aviation sector has been directly impacted by the weather conditions. The Straits Times reports that Singapore Airlines has retimed several flights between Singapore and Japan to ensure passenger safety and operational stability amidst the storm’s impact.

The storm’s trajectory has necessitated coordinated responses from transport operators and emergency services to manage the effects of the heavy precipitation and high wind speeds accompanying the system.
