Japan Cancels Over 100 Flights Ahead of Approaching Twin Tropical Storms
Japanese airlines canceled over 100 flights as two tropical storms, Mekkhala and Higos, approached Japan, prompting evacuation advisories in regions like Kyoto due to risks of flooding and landslides. Mekkhala, downgraded from a typhoon, brought strong winds and heavy rain, affecting southern and western areas. The storms may interact through the Fujiwhara effect, complicating forecasts. Toyota and Nissan suspended some operations amid road closures, and the Japanese military postponed a planned aircraft flight linked to joint exercises.
