robert speta tells us where the typhoon is expected to make landfall. >> it's going to be coming on shorernight thursday and then friday. height ahead of the storm system we have this rain band moving across the tokyo area, some areas have seen some flood warnings put in place already. we're still looking at the threat of more rainfall throughout thursday and these large waves cascading ahead of the storm system. some video coming out of the shizuoka area the rain and the waves are already coming on shore, as much as 12 to 13 meters high. the tomi expressway has been shut down. 40 flights have been canceled for honshu and shuk oaku. so if you have travel plans for western or central japan, be ready for delays and cancellations. you may want to postpone them until the storm passes by the time we go into friday and saturday. but this is expected to come on shore during the overnight hours. winds gusting about 216 kilometers per hour. it's expected to weaken slightly before landfall. dry air interacting with the storm in the western flank, baugh all that moisture is still wrapping around the

meteorologist robert speta has more. >> at least at this time the storm is moving over western japan. you can see that eye coming on shore. this made landfall around 11:00 p.m. japan time. now as it does continue to move overhead the big threat with it is the rainfall. of course, we are still seeing some fairly gusty winds. when it came on shore winds were gusting at some locations upwards of 150 kilometers per hour. that's typhoon strength. look at the rainfall reports. we've been talking about the mountains out here. and once that moisture hits these mountains, i think of it as throwing a water balloon at a wall. it just stops right in its tracks, and that's why we're squeezing all that moisture. these totals continue to climb. some of these areas could reach as high as a thousand millimeters. let's go to video just showing you the flooding here. this is in tokushima. that's a middle school. that's a courtyard right in the middle there. you can see it completely flooded out. we've been seeing that type of report over and over again here. some of these areas continue to see that more

robert speta joins us with the latest. >> what we're seeing now, many people have been displaced.have relief set up in pakistan and western india, but the rain is still ongoing. dfrl rough for a lot of people out here. the satellite still shows monsoonal rains kicking up, typical for this time of year. the farmers depend on these rains. some areas, it's been vital for the south, and to the west a low right there, and then another low over the bay. both of these have been bringing all sorts of precipitation for these areas. some video out of pakistan take a look at the flooding. it looks like a lake, but this village, the death toll continues to climb out here from this month's past rain. it's rose to 86 as of wednesday. flood waters have inundated hundreds of villages leaving people homeless affecting over 500,000 people, displacing them. medical camps and food distribution units have been launched. so people are getting some help across this region. good news as far as the forecast, to the west, we have a low tracking inland. it's getting a little bit away from its moisture sourc

robert robert speta joins us with the latest. >> across tokyo and central japan, the temperatures will cool down. the humidity as you mentioned will continue to climb. we're looking at heat indexes pushing up into central portions of japan. what we really got going on today is we still have the daytime heating going on. southerly winds but the remanence of this coming through and you can barely see it clouds popping up here but it creates enough instability aloft above heads, temperatures around minus 30 to minus 30 degrees sell sellous. we got thunderstorms flaring ape cross much of the planes especially off here towards the north, just north of tokyo, you see about 74 millimeters of rainfall this morning in a one-hour period. we'll look at more showers throughout the day as this drifts towards the east and then by the afternoon and evening hours, should taper off and back wednesday into thursday sunny skies yet again and we're going to be looking at temperatures pushing back into the 0s30s. relief and it's about perspective because it won't last long. back towards the northwest, we h

meteorologist robert speta joins us with the latest. >> well the latest is what we're seeing right now, this rainfall is just continuing across much of this area. the problem is it's not the short time heavy rain not localized thunderstorm it's the persistent moisture flowing in with the monsoon combined with several areas of low pressure. this is in the bay of bengal. this is separate. but another one over here towards western india is just surging in that moisture off the indian ocean and you need this rain, the farmers depend on this. the problem is we get too much and it causes some serious flooding out here. and we have -- well this satellite image, this is from space. it gives you a derived rainfall. some location have seen well over 500 millimeters in the week. here over 900 millimeters. this is coming out of northern india. where that flooding really has been quite serious. it's been disrupting not only residents but pilgrims here to a hindu shrine. those that kimcame from far away have become stranded. they're facing problems that have continued, mud slides. this city flood wa

robert speta joins us with more. >> it doesn't look like that just yet. we're seeing temperatures continuing to rise out here actually pushing into the mid 30s for many people across much of japan over towards the korean peninsula and eastern china, as well. now there is several factors leading to this. of course, we're looking at sunny skies out here. you can see on the satellite picture but also severe areas of low pressure which are in fact contributing to the heat. to the north we have what is left moving across parts and will bring heavy rainfall out there, threat of flooding even landslides but the other factor it's surging in that warm air from the south and that's continuing to make those temperatures rise across much of japan even back there towards the west as well. let's take a look at temperatures that were reported on monday and into parts of eastern china klooking at them surging into the 40s. this is not taking the account for heat index, as well. even over towards tokyo, a high of 34 seen there on monday. do want to mention in tokyo, unfor

meteorologist robert speta joins us with more. >> we are seeing right now, if you take a look at the satellite picture, is actually most of the country is under the cloud cover. in tokyo this morning some light rain out there. i brought an umbrella with myself. but if you are in parts of kyushu, it is coming down quite hard. in some areas here in the past 48 hours we've seen upwards of 391 millimeters of total precipitation. this is on top of what we've already seen so far this month, specifically there in kagoshima prefecture where some cases they've seen over 1,000 millimeters of total rainfall. there is that threat of flooding here and even the chance of landslides as this continues to push overhead. this whole low itself is not just bringing those heavier showers into kyushu. if you are in tokyo through the midand latter part of wednesday, you will see heavier showers there. you want to have the umbrella by if you are commuting across much of the city or even traveling in and out of tokyo, look for the threat of thunderstorms that could cause some delays. as far as forecasts is c

robert speta explains. >> well we are going to be seeing a bit of relief in the latter part of the week. unfortunately it is because we are looking at some heavy rainfall and a typhoon that's going to be coming into the picture. that storm in itself is also triggering pressure across japan. but look at the satellite picture. clear skies out here today. the sun's continuing to beat down. actually, some areas we've been pushing temperatures well into the 30s. look at that. 39.3 degrees there in gunma prefecture. 41 degrees was the record two years ago. it shows you how hot it really is. let's go to video out of that area where the temperature spiked near the 40-degree mark. temperatures are still continuing to rise. as well in fukushima prefecture. at least three people have died due to heatstroke. eight people unconscious. more than a thousand people have been taken to hospital yesterday alone. this extreme heat will continue across most of japan tluz the rest of the day here on wednesday. advising people like that child there to eat some ice cream, stay cool get in the water. try to sta

. >>> time for world weather with meteorologist robert speta. as we reported in the open hours, a ferry capsized and the weather may have played a role in this disaster. walk us through. >> yeah so what we have been seeing is out here is still a recovery effort ongoing. and the weather was definitely very foul around this area around the philippines during this disaster. what we have going on right now is a tropical system just off the eastern seaboards of the philippine. i'll talk about the intensity of the forecast in just a second. but one of the big things to talk about is that we have this inflow. that's these rain bands coming in from the west. it's been impacting this area of the philippines for several days now. and let's go to some video with have give you more information on what did occur out here. because this ferry was carrying 183 passengers. 36 have been confirmed dead. it happened just after leaving port. according to the coast guard pokesman 127 people have been rescued, 26 people are still missing. family members continuing to

robert speta joins us. >> what we're seeing out here has been the topic all week. the heavy landfall coming in with the monsoon. all this cloud cover being pulled in off the bay of bengal. but now we have a cyclonic storm, this isis cyclonic storm komen. i'm not going to show you the track with this, because the reality is it is rather stationary. and the winds and the intensity of this storm is not the big factor. the big factor is the fact that it is stationary and it is really in the worst possible location. just off the coastline. this whole entire area here is very vulnerable to flooding. it's just been pumping that moisture on shore. take a look at this. this is the past seven days. rain totals. some areas saw 900 to 1,000 millimeters of precipitation. absolutely staggering amounts out here. let's go to some video out of myanmar. this is one of the other things. it is some stormy conditions, too. winds are kicking up. many villages have been inundated. there have been casualties reported with this. as far as the forecast is concerned, it's not improving. let'
