Conson, now a fast-weakening tropical storm, has landed in
southwestern Japan. Friday morning, EDT, Tropical Storm Conson
is near Osaka and Kyoto, Japan, with highest winds of 40 to 45 mph
and dropping. The storm is sweeping northeastwards at 30 mph. The
storm will break up as it crosses the rugged mainland of Japan within
12 to 24 hours, then heads over the cool North Pacific Ocean off
eastern Japan.
Rains linked to Conson were torrential over much of southwestern
Japan Thursday into Friday. Over parts of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu,
rainfall of 3 to 6 inches was observed, and 11 inches of rain fell
within little more than twelve hours on the island of Tanegashima. As

Shikoku. Highly-exposed Cape Muruoto, also on Shikoku, was blasted by
steady winds above 50 mph.
Tropical Storm Chanthu is over the South China Sea. Late Friday
afternoon, EDT, the storm is centered 330 miles east-southeast of
Danang, Vietnam. Its top sustained winds now about 70 mph, Chanthu is
bearing towards the west-northwest at 15 mph. Chanthu is seen as a
threat to the middle of Vietnam within 24 to 30 hours, whereupon it

the west at 4-5 mph.
Monsoonal rains have hit parts of India's western shores hard this
week. In Ratnagiri, rainfall was 11.8 inches within 3.5 days as of
