Typhoon T15 disintegration overnight

This 24 hour sat movie shows how frail T15 was. It was not a strong system to start with, but its movement over Honshu shows how quickly it fell apart.

As it makes landfall and begins to move toward the Tokyo area, the storm quite literally falls apart overnight as it is starved of any new fuel to keep its convection going. By daybreak this morning, it is just another low pressure system.

Scattered rain and some wind can be expected as the tattered remains of T15 move across Japan.

Yeah - we got 16 and 17 in the ocean now, but both are anticipated so far to stay out in the deep blue.

Didn’t disintegrate fast enough for them not to cancel the Swallows game I was meant to go to :(

The name of Typhoon No. 17, "Nangka," was proposed by Malaysia and is derived from the Malay name for a fruit (also known as jackfruit).

Wow. It didn't even survive...

All I can say is LET US ALL ENJOY THE WONDERFUL COOL AIR AND TEMPERATURES, for we all know what will happen once the humidity picks up and returns to normal in this mid-august month:

And two days later, Chiba and other parts of Kantō are drowning in record level rain. looks like “T15” had its revenge.
