From late May into early June 2026, a broad, slow-spinning storm churned north-northwest over the Philippine Sea toward southern Japan. Typhoon Jangmi\u2019s rainbands unleashed torrential rainfall across a vast swath of the region, triggering flooding concerns<\/a> in several areas.<\/p>\nThe\u00a0VIIRS<\/a>\u00a0(Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) on the\u00a0Suomi NPP<\/a> satellite captured this nighttime image (above) of the storm at about 16:40 Universal Time on May 30 (1:40 a.m. Japan Standard Time on May 31). Around that time, the typhoon<\/a> produced sustained winds of 120 kilometers (75 miles) per hour, based on 1-minute averages reported by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center<\/a> (JTWC). That\u2019s equivalent to a category 1 storm on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe image shows a detailed view of the eyewall and eye<\/a>, with a diameter that is on the larger end of the spectrum, according to Scott Braun, a research meteorologist at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center.\u00a0There also appears to be some low-level rotation on the eastern side of the eye, producing features known as \u201cmesocyclones\u201d that are partially obscured by high-level clouds. Though they appear striking, the features are fairly typical, Braun noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe second image shows a wider view of the same storm one day later. The VIIRS on the NOAA-20<\/a> satellite acquired this image at about 16:40 Universal Time on May 31 (1:40 a.m. Japan Standard Time on June 1), when the storm was a slightly stronger typhoon with sustained winds of 130 kilometers (80 miles) per hour.<\/p>\nIn both images, Jangmi\u2019s eye was still located south of Okinawa. However, the storm\u2019s outer cloud bands already reached over land as the storm moved north. Forecasts called for the storm to make a close approach to Okinawa and then turn northeast toward the Amami region around June 1-2. It was expected to continue delivering large amounts of rain, especially along the nation\u2019s Pacific coast, according to news reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nNASA Earth Observatory images by Michala Garrison,\u00a0using VIIRS day-night band data from NASA\u00a0EOSDIS LANCE<\/a>,\u00a0GIBS\/Worldview<\/a>, and the\u00a0Joint Polar Satellite System<\/a>\u00a0(JPSS)<\/em>.
