Typhoon Talim hit the southern islands of Japan on Thursday bringing damaging winds and over 500mm of rain.  Tens of thousands of homes are without power whilst flights and transport have been severely disrupted. 

This powerful storm will now head northwards over the weekend threatening Kyushu, Shikoku and western Honshu before hitting Hokkaido by Monday. 

Meanwhile, Typhoon Doksuri has made landfall in Vietnam and will start to weaken.
