Firefighters in Kanagawa prefecture said they received a call from a man who reported his house had been crushed by a landslide. A woman struggles with her umbrella outside Shinjuku station Some research suggests that Japan has become more exposed to destructive storms, but climate change is not thought to be increasing the number of these storms globally, and could even make them less common in some regions. As temperatures rise, typhoons that do form are likely to become more intense on average, however.
神奈川县的消防队员表示,他们接到一名男子的电话,称他的房子被山体滑坡压垮了。 一名女子在新宿站外奋力撑着雨伞 一些研究表明,日本更容易受到破坏性风暴的影响,但气候变化并不被认为会增加全球此类风暴的数量,甚至可能使它们在某些地区变得不那么常见。 然而,随着气温升高,台风的形成平均可能会变得更加强烈。
Warmer ocean waters mean storms can pick up more energy, leading to higher wind speeds.
海水变暖意味着风暴可以吸收更多能量,导致风速更高。
And because a warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, these storms could also bring heavier rainfall.
由于温暖的大气可以容纳更多的水分,这些风暴也可能带来更大的降雨。
Another woman also struggles with an umbrella in Chiba This year, El Niño - the natural weather phenomenon bringing warmer water to parts of the tropical Pacific - is another factor.
千叶县的另一名妇女也为打伞而苦苦挣扎 今年,厄尔尼诺现象——一种给热带太平洋部分地区带来海水变暖的自然天气现象——是另一个因素。
El Niño doesn't have a clear effect on the total number of typhoons, but it can affect where typhoons form, their strength and which countries they hit.
厄尔尼诺现象对台风总数没有明显影响,但它会影响台风的形成地点、强度以及袭击的国家。
Some El Niño events may expose Japan to stronger typhoons, for example.
例如,一些厄尔尼诺现象可能会让日本遭受更强的台风。
The typhoon is continuing to travel along the country's Pacific coast, heading north.
台风继续沿着该国太平洋海岸向北移动。
