Typhoon No. 6 to Approach Okinawa/Amami Late May–June 2026

Typhoon Jangmi (Typhoon No. 6) swept northward across Japan from Okinawa to the mainland, producing record rainfall in Tokyo, 80mph winds, landslides, and river flooding before weakening into a tropical depression. The storm damaged 57 homes, knocked out power to 60,000 properties, and prompted evacuation advisories for 1.52 million people. Insurance market implications are limited by the relatively modest physical damage reported — no major commercial or industrial assets confirmed destroyed, no credible loss estimate provided, and no named insured infrastructure loss beyond residential and a heritage site wall.
