Heavy rain hit southwestern Japan's Kyushu region Monday, leaving one
woman dead after a landslide, while local governments issued evacuation
advisories to around 1.2 million people.
The Japan Meteorological Agency warned of possible landslides and
floods, forecasting severe rainfall may continue to hit some western
Japan regions through around Thursday.
The atmosphere has become unstable as warm air from the south hit a
seasonal rain front stretching to western and eastern Japan from the
East China Sea, according to the agency.
Local governments in Kagoshima, Miyazaki and Kumamoto prefectures issued
evacuation advisories. A woman in her 70s who was rescued in Kagoshima
after she was buried by mud that had engulfed her house early Monday was
later confirmed dead.
Some Kyushu Shinkansen bullet train services between Kumamoto and
Kagoshima-Chuo stations were temporarily suspended. A national road has
been closed in Kagoshima due to a landslide.
