Typhoon Dujuan brings heavy rain to Japan as evacuations are urged

In brief

Typhoon Dujuan approached and brushed past Tokyo, bringing torrential rain, flooding and landslides to parts of Japan. More than one million people were under evacuation advisories, while one estimate put the figure near two million across six prefectures, including Tokyo. Hundreds of flights were cancelled, and the meteorological agency’s warning of an imminent threat to life was later downgraded in most areas.
