Flood — Osaka

Heavy rain is affecting Osaka and surrounding areas within approximately 30 km. The warning is active and expected to continue until late evening on 27 August. Flooding of low-lying areas is the primary concern during this period.

If you are in the affected area, avoid low-lying zones and areas prone to flooding. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads or waterways, as water depth and flow can be deceptive and dangerous. Monitor local weather updates and follow evacuation orders if issued by local authorities.

Stay informed through official channels and follow guidance from local emergency services. The Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) advises particular caution regarding inundation of low-lying areas. Check with your accommodation or local authorities for specific instructions relevant to your location.
