Tropical Storm Jangmi Approaches Japan

Tropical Storm Jangmi is advancing toward the Kanto region of Japan on June 3, 2026, triggering flood warnings and significant infrastructure disruptions as the system moves toward Tokyo.

The storm has already caused widespread power outages across Japan, with reports indicating that approximately 60,000 homes have lost electricity as the weather system batters the archipelago.

Transportation and Travel Disruptions

The approach of the storm has led to immediate adjustments in international travel. Singapore Airlines has retimed flights between Singapore and three major Japanese cities: Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya.

These scheduling changes are intended to ensure passenger safety and avoid the most severe weather conditions expected as Jangmi makes its way toward the Kanto region.

Public Safety and Regional Warnings

Authorities in Japan have issued flood warnings as the storm tracks toward the capital. The Japan Broadcasting Corporation’s NHK WORLD-JAPAN reports that the storm is currently approaching the Kanto region, where Tokyo is located.

The combination of heavy rainfall and the storm’s trajectory has increased the risk of flooding in low-lying areas, prompting local officials to urge residents to remain vigilant.

Advisories for Foreign Nationals

The Singaporean government has issued advisories for its citizens currently located in Japan. Singaporeans are advised to be on alert and monitor local news and weather updates as the storm heads toward Tokyo.

These precautions are aimed at ensuring that travelers and residents can take necessary safety measures before the storm reaches the metropolitan area.
