A forecast predicts a nationwide rainfall in Japan on the 20th, with potential severe disturbances in Northern Japan. Weather experts have alerted residents in these areas to prepare for the impact and have recommended necessary precautions. The extent of the disturbance and its potential aftermath are being monitored.

Weather news, especially those that indicate potential disturbances or extreme conditions, are taken seriously in Japan due to the country's susceptibility to natural disasters. Citizens often prepare accordingly based on the forecast warning. This also reflects the societal value of community cooperation and the importance of personal safety in Japan.

Much like in the US or EU, weather forecasts are vital in Japan due to the country's diverse geography. However, the frequency of natural disasters, such as tsunamis and typhoons, makes Japan more reliant on accurate and timely forecasts.
