Downpours forecast for Tokyo and surrounding areas from Thursday afternoon
Japan's weather officials are warning of possible torrential downpours from late afternoon throughout the night on Thursday in the Kanto Koshin region which includes Tokyo.
The Japan Meteorological Agency says atmospheric conditions are likely to become extremely unstable due to a rain front.
Officials say bands of heavy rain clouds could form over Ibaraki, Tochigi, Gunma, Chiba and Saitama prefectures, as well as Tokyo's 23 wards and the nearby Tama region, raising the dangers of rain-triggered disasters.
