Jangmi has moved past Japan and is now transitioning into an extratropical system east of Honshu, but the impacts it brought are still being felt, including heavy rain, flooding and landslide risks, travel disruption, and power outages in affected areas.
We followed this storm from its early organization over the Philippine Sea, through its intensification and turn toward Japan, reading it through every layer of the atmosphere.
Storms like this are exactly why we watch the sky the way we do: not to marvel at them, but to see them coming sooner, so the people in their path have more time.
Below is a glimpse into the data we’re collecting in pursuit of better early warnings: a high-frequency, four-dimensional view of storms like Jangmi, from the top of the atmosphere down to the surface.
