The Mainichi:
Heavy rain pounds Japan, prompting evacuation alerts, 1 dies
...
The severe weather conditions have been caused by warm and moist air blowing from near Typhoon Mawar, which is passing south of the country, and a rain front hanging over Japan's main island Honshu. Thunderstorms were observed developing one after another in six prefectures, causing concentrated heavy rainfall, including in the western prefectures of Kochi, Nara and Wakayama. Rising water levels of rivers prompted some local governments, such as Toyohashi in Aichi Prefecture and Iwata in Shizuoka Prefecture, both in central Japan, to issue the highest level of warning to residents, calling on them to immediately ensure their safety.
