台风“舒力基”于周一开始逼近冲绳县和奄美群岛,预计路径显示该风暴将向东北方向移动,直指关东地区,而该地区目前仍处于上周台风“杜鹃”过境后的恢复期。
Typhoon Surigae began approaching Okinawa Prefecture and the Amami islands on Monday with a projected path for the storm showing a northeast trajectory toward the Kanto region, which is still recovering from last week’s Typhoon Dujuan.
日本气象厅(JMA)将今年第26号台风“舒力基”定性为强台风,而美国军方联合台风警报中心(JTWC)则在周日晚间将其升级为超级台风。该台风最初于上周在菲律宾以东海域形成。
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) classified Surigae, the year’s 26th named storm, as a very strong typhoon, and the U.S. military’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) upgraded it to a super typhoon on Sunday night. It had originally formed east of the Philippines last week.
日本气象厅将强台风定义为最大风速在85节(每小时157公里)至105节之间的台风,而联合台风警报中心则将风速超过130节的台风称为超级台风。
A very strong typhoon is defined by the JMA as having a maximum wind speed of between 85 (157 kilometers per hour) and 105 knots, while the JTWC calls a wind intensity of over 130 knots a super typhoon.
这两个数值均高于台风“杜鹃”的巅峰强度,意味着其威力足以造成毁灭性的破坏。日本气象厅表示,超过每小时140公里的风速足以吹倒电线杆和树木,并摧毁房屋。不过,预计该台风不会直接登陆冲绳县,但日本气象厅仍对当地可能出现的高浪和狂风发出了预警。
Either figure is higher than Dujuan’s peak intensity and would represent a level of strength that could cause devastating amounts of damage, with the JMA saying that wind speeds of over 140 kph can topple telephone poles and trees and destroy houses. However, the typhoon is not expected to directly hit Okinawa Prefecture, although the JMA still warned against high waves and violent winds there.
预计“舒力基”起初将向东偏北方向移动,远离日本,随后接近伊豆群岛,并可能于周四左右在东海和关东地区登陆。届时,该台风很可能已减弱为强热带风暴。即便如此,此类风暴带来的风力仍足以造成一定程度的破坏,并使步行和驾驶等日常活动变得困难。
Surigae is predicted to move east-northeast initially away from Japan before approaching the Izu Islands and potentially making landfall in the Tokai and Kanto regions around Thursday, by which time the typhoon will likely have weakened into a severe tropical storm. The wind intensity from such a storm could still be strong enough to cause some damage and make everyday activities like walking and driving difficult.
苏力加将袭击一个仍在从台风“杜苏芮”恢复的地区,该台风在千叶县、宫崎县和神奈川县造成了严重破坏,并导致至少10人死亡。山体滑坡损坏了数百栋房屋,洪水导致千叶县水位创下历史新高并造成农业毁灭性打击,而在风暴期间,许多道路和公共交通服务被迫关闭。数千户家庭也断水,其中约470户截至周一仍在停水中。
Surigae would hit an area still recovering from Typhoon Dujuan, which caused extensive damage and killed at least 10 people in Chiba, Miyazaki and Kanagawa prefectures. Landslides damaged hundreds of houses, and flooding led to record-breaking water levels and agricultural destruction in Chiba Prefecture, while many roads and public transportation services were shut down during the storm. Thousands of households were also left without water, of which around 470 were still undergoing outages as of Monday.
国土交通省警告,苏力加可能导致本周晚些时候日本西部和东部发布大雨警报。这将延续本月见到的历史性降雨量,当时关东甲信地区在9月21日“杜苏芮”巅峰期间创下了9月降雨量和24小时降雨量的纪录。
The land ministry warned that Surigae could lead to heavy rain warnings in western and eastern Japan later this week. This would maintain the historic amounts of rainfall seen this month, when the Kanto-Koshin region set a record for September rainfall and rainfall over a 24-hour period during Dujuan’s peak on Sept. 21.
该地区还经历着创纪录的连续降水。周一是东京连续第33天降雨,追平了2019年夏季创下的纪录。随着未来几天东京预报有雨,该纪录极有可能在周二被打破。
The region is also experiencing a record precipitation streak. Monday was the 33rd straight day that Tokyo saw rain, which tied a record set in the summer of 2019. With rain forecast in Tokyo for the next few days, it is likely the record will be broken on Tuesday.
