Typhoon Jangmi has slammed into Japan with devastating force, bringing widespread destruction and disruption to the country. The storm made landfall in the early hours of the morning, unleashing heavy rain and strong winds that have left thousands without power and many roads impassable.
According to the Met Office, Typhoon Jangmi's impact has been particularly severe in Tokyo, where winds of up to 70mph (113km/h) have caused chaos. The Japan Meteorological Agency has issued flood warnings for several areas, with many homes and businesses flooded due to overflowing rivers.
UK travelers are among those facing disruption, with flights and other transport links severely impacted by the storm. Several airlines and airports have issued warnings of potential delays or cancellations, causing concern for passengers already in Japan or planning to travel there.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for wind and rain across the UK, with strong winds and heavy rain expected in many parts of the country. While the worst of the weather is expected to stay in Japan, UK residents are advised to check the latest forecast and plan their travel accordingly.
The UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has urged UK travelers to exercise caution when traveling to Japan, citing the potential for further disruption caused by the typhoon. The FCO has also advised against all but essential travel to several areas of Japan expected to be affected by the storm.
