The Kanto region of Japan has been experiencing continuous rain recently. From August 27 to September 29, central Tokyo has experienced precipitation for 34 consecutive days, setting a new record for the longest continuous rainfall in 140 years since statistics were collected in 1886. As Typhoon Shuliki approaches, a rain river appears again on the main island of Japan due to the accompanying effect of the front, and the number of consecutive rainy days in Tokyo is likely to continue to be extended.

Meteorology expert "Taiwan Typhoon Forum | Weather Emergency" stated that Japan has had quite a lot of rain this month. The main reason is the relay of typhoons and the lingering fronts in autumn, which have caused many days of continuous rain in many places in Japan. It has rained every day since August 27 in Tokyo, and it has rained for 34 days in a row, breaking the historical record.

The "Typhoon Forum" posted a real-color cloud picture. It can be seen that the co-occurrence effect of Typhoon Shuliki and the autumn rain front in southern Japan has caused most of Japan to be covered by clouds.

Japanese media pointed out that this autumn rain front was triggered by Typhoon Shuliki. It is expected that rainfall will continue in the Kanto region on Wednesday (30th), which may bring the number of consecutive rainy days in Tokyo to 35. Shuliki will be closest to the Kanto region on Thursday (October 1), but the direct impact is expected to be small. Friday (October 2) is expected to usher in long-lost sunny weather.
