15 (Chan-hom) made landfall in southern Ibaraki Prefecture at around 8 p.m. on August 11, marking the first typhoon landfall in the prefecture since official statistics began in 1951, as strong winds and heavy rain spread across eastern Japan. The storm is the second typhoon to make landfall in Japan this year, following Typhoon No. After making landfall in Ibaraki, it is expected to continue westward through the Kanto region and cross Honshu through August 12 before reaching the Sea of Japan. Rain associated with the typhoon had spread across a broad area before landfall. 15 contained relatively few highly developed rain clouds before landfall, meaning some locations had not yet experienced particularly heavy rain.
