Japon emite alerta de emergencia por la aproximación del tifón Shanshan
August 28, 2024 - Japón ha emitido una alerta de emergencia mientras el potente Tifón Shan Shan se acerca a su regió suroccidental con lluvias torrenciales y fuertes vientos.
Carmaker Toyota suspended operations at all of its domestic factories and airlines and rail operators also cancelled some services over the coming days as the typhoon, categorised as "very strong", packed winds of 50 metres per second with gusts of up to 70 metres per second (252 km per hour/157 mph).
Shanshan is expected to strike Japan's southwestern Kyushu island over the next few days and approach the central and eastern regions, which includes the capital Tokyo, around the weekend, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
