Typhoon Dujuan struck Japan's Tokyo region this week, bringing record-breaking rainfall, violent winds of up to 144 km/h and triggering landslides in Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures. At least four people were killed and 22 injured, according to authorities, with some reports citing six deaths; homes collapsed, tens of thousands of houses lost power, and search-and-rescue teams worked to find people missing in the debris. The storm caused widespread travel chaos before moving away from Japan, allowing most heavy rain and landslide warnings to be downgraded. It is described as part of a year of intense rain, floods and tropical cyclones affecting regions worldwide.
