Typhoon No. 8 moving north may land from Kanto to Tohoku on the 27th, and there are concerns about its impact on the Olympic Games. This is a report from near the surfing venue in Ichinomiya Town, Chiba Prefecture. (Reporter Shoharu Yamaki, Social Affairs Department) A fairly strong wind continues to blow along the coast near the surfing venue. As you can see from the sea, white waves are standing here and there, and when you look toward the breakwater, you can see that the high waves are hitting and the splashes are being swept away by the strong wind. When I talked to a local surfer, there was a story that the high waves collapsed due to the influence of the typhoon and it was messed up. In short, it seems that white waves are standing and not a continuous wave. According to the weather forecast for Chiba on the 27th, the maximum instantaneous wind speed is expected to be 30 meters. In addition, the sea conditions are expected to be high all day long, with a 5 meter cliff expected at the venue. Among them, the Organizing Committee has decided to schedule the surfing competition on the 27th from 7:00 am as scheduled. However, competition officials are concerned about how this typhoon will affect the competition schedule.
