Heavy rain is affecting parts of western Japan due to a seasonal rain front. The situation is being exacerbated by two approaching tropical storms. Flooding has been triggered in some areas by the heavy downpours.

One of the storms, Mekkhala, is currently located off the western coast of a southern Japanese island. Further information on the storms and their impact can be found through news sources such as Yourbasin, which is following the situation in Japan.
