Heavy rain lashed parts of western Honshu and the Kyushu region on Saturday, bringing record hourly rainfall in several places, killing one person and leaving two others missing, local authorities and the weather agency said.
The Meteorological Agency went on to warn on Sunday about the danger of landslides and flooding in low-lying areas, as well as the rise and overflow of rivers in Kyushu, especially in its southern areas, due to possible heavy rains until Monday.
The agency said a weather front expected to linger near Kyushu on Monday will see a flow of warm and humid air towards it, making weather conditions very unstable.
