Central Tokyo Gets Record 34 Consecutive Days of Rain
The Japan Meteorological Agency said 629 mm of September rain, about three times normal, fueled flooding and landslides across the region.
- On Tuesday, Sept 29, 2026, Central Tokyo registered 34 consecutive days of rain, marking the longest streak on record, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency .
- Typhoons, a stalled autumn rain front, and a low-pressure trough drove the 629 mm of rainfall, with Typhoon Krovanh and Typhoon Dujuan bringing heavy precipitation across Japan.
- Central Tokyo received only 46.8 hours of sunshine over the past month, just 36% of the yearly average, while total yearly rainfall through Sept 28, 2026, reached 1,949.5 mm.
- Typhoon Dujuan triggered flooding and landslides in the Kanto region, killing at least 10 people and causing extensive damage to buildings, agriculture, and infrastructure.
- Persistent rain is expected until around Oct 1, 2026, as Typhoon Surigae moves northeast and may bring heavy rain to the Kanto region again, particularly in Chiba Prefecture.
