- On Wednesday, Typhoon Saudel forced ANA and Japan Airlines to cancel 279 flights, affecting 41,688 passengers in Okinawa as the storm brought strong winds and high seas to the region.
- Packing winds of up to 144 kph , Typhoon Saudel churned over the East China Sea near Okinoerabu island as of late morning Wednesday. The Japan Meteorological Agency expects the storm to reach China's eastern coast later this week.
- Power outages affected more than 30,000 homes in Kagoshima, while the Fire and Disaster Management Agency reported two people sustained injuries. A 78-year-old woman in Uruma suffered a head injury after being blown by strong winds.
- Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi urged the public to monitor weather forecasts and prioritize safety. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued landslide warnings for Amami, where more than 23 centimeters of rain fell over 24 hours.
- With the storm heading toward China's eastern coast, forecasters predict up to 12 centimeters of additional rainfall on Okinawa through midday Thursday. This positions the region for continued weather hazards as Saudel moves westward.
