Heavy rainfall, caused by several tropical cyclones and seasonal weather fronts, has led to significant casualties and structural damage across Japan and Taiwan.

由數個熱帶氣旋與季節性天氣鋒面引起的大量降雨，導致日本與台灣出現嚴重傷亡與結構損壞。

Japan has been affected by two consecutive storms, Typhoons Higos and Mekkhala. The Japan Meteorological Agency stated that while Higos weakened into a tropical depression after passing near Tokyo, Mekkhala continued toward the eastern coast, forcing officials to maintain a high-alert status. These systems combined with a seasonal rain front to cause extreme rainfall, particularly in Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Saga, where levels exceeded 500 millimeters. Consequently, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency reported that over 30 homes were flooded in Nara and Hiroshima, and a Level 5 emergency alert was issued in Kyoto following a landslide.

日本接連受到兩場風暴——海格斯（Higos）與梅卡拉（Mekkhala）颱風的影響。日本氣象廳表示，雖然海格斯在經過東京附近後弱化為熱帶低壓，但梅卡拉繼續向東岸移動，迫使官員維持高度警戒狀態。這些系統與季節性雨鋒結合，造成極端降雨，尤其是在長崎、熊本與佐賀，雨量超過 500 毫米。因此，消防廳報告指出奈良與廣島有超過 30 棟房屋被淹，而京都在發生山崩後發布了 5 級緊急警報。

These weather events have led to serious casualties and displacements. In Yamaguchi Prefecture, one person died and three others were injured when a house collapsed due to a landslide. To reduce further risks, evacuation orders were issued for approximately 2 million people across 13 western prefectures. Furthermore, the unstable weather caused widespread disruptions to flights and train services.

這些天氣事件導致嚴重傷亡與人口流離失所。在山口縣，一棟房屋因山崩倒塌，導致一人死亡及三人受傷。為了降低進一步風險，政府向 13 個西部縣的大約 200 萬人發布撤離令。此外，不穩定的天氣導致航班與火車服務大規模中斷。

At the same time, Taiwan has faced severe flooding. The Central Weather Administration warned that Yunlin County and other regions could see more than 200 millimeters of rain within 24 hours. Local authorities recorded 487 flooding incidents since Thursday, and 74 areas remained underwater by Friday. These events resulted in at least two deaths, leading officials to warn the public that flash floods and landslides remain a serious risk.

與此同時，台灣也面臨嚴重水災。中央氣象署警告，雲林縣及其他地區在 24 小時內的雨量可能會超過 200 毫米。地方政府記錄自週四起共有 487 起淹水事故，截至週五仍有 74 個地區處於淹水狀態。這些事件導致至少兩人死亡，官員因此警告大眾，山洪與山崩仍是嚴重風險。

Both regions are currently dealing with the aftermath of these storms while monitoring weather forecasts for signs of stability.

兩個地區目前正處理這些風暴後的餘波，同時監控天氣預報以尋找穩定跡象。

Severe precipitation events, driven by multiple tropical cyclones and seasonal fronts, have caused significant casualties and structural damage across Japan and Taiwan.

在多個熱帶氣旋與季節性鋒面的影響下，強降雨事件在日本與台灣造成了嚴重的人員傷亡與結構損毀。

The Japanese archipelago has been subjected to the sequential influence of Typhoons Higos and Mekkhala. While the Japan Meteorological Agency noted the attenuation of Higos into a tropical depression following its transit near Tokyo, the subsequent trajectory of Mekkhala toward the eastern coast necessitated the maintenance of high-alert status. The convergence of these systems with a seasonal rain front precipitated extreme precipitation levels, notably in Nagasaki, Kumamoto, and Saga prefectures, where accumulations exceeded 500 millimeters. Consequently, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency reported the inundation of over 30 residences in Nara and Hiroshima, while the issuance of a Level 5 emergency alert in Kyoto followed a landslide event.

日本群島接連受到颱風 Higos 與 Mekkhala 的影響。雖然日本氣象廳指出 Higos 在經過東京附近後已弱化為熱帶低壓，但隨後 Mekkhala 向東岸移動的軌跡，使得當局必須維持高度戒備狀態。這些系統與季節性雨鋒匯合，導致極端降雨，尤其在長崎、熊本與佐賀縣，累計雨量超過 500 毫米。因此，消防救災廳報告指出奈良與廣島有超過 30 棟住宅被淹，而京都則在發生土石流後發布了 5 級緊急警報。

Human casualties and displacement have been substantial. In Yamaguchi Prefecture, the collapse of a residential structure due to a landslide resulted in one fatality and three injuries. To mitigate further risk, evacuation mandates were extended to approximately 2 million individuals across 13 western prefectures. Furthermore, the meteorological volatility induced systemic disruptions to aviation and rail transport networks.

人員傷亡與撤離情況嚴重。在山口縣，一棟住宅因土石流崩塌導致一人死亡及三人受傷。為降低風險，撤離命令擴大至 13 個西部縣約 200 萬人。此外，氣象波動也導致航空與鐵路運輸網絡出現系統性中斷。

Simultaneously, Taiwan has experienced widespread hydrological instability. The Central Weather Administration issued warnings for Yunlin County and other regions, citing the potential for precipitation exceeding 200 millimeters within a 24-hour window. Local authorities documented 487 flooding incidents since Thursday, with 74 areas remaining submerged as of Friday. These events have resulted in at least two confirmed fatalities, prompting official advisories regarding the persistence of flash flood and landslide risks.

與此同時，台灣也經歷了廣泛的水文不穩定情況。中央氣象署向雲林縣及其他地區發出警告，指出 24 小時內降雨量可能超過 200 毫米。地方政府記錄自週四起共有 487 起淹水事故，截至週五仍有 74 個地區積水。這些事件導致至少兩人死亡，官方亦發布建議，提醒持續注意閃洪與土石流風險。

Both regions continue to manage the aftermath of these storm systems while monitoring forecasts for gradual stabilization.

兩個地區持續處理這些風暴系統後的餘波，同時監測預報以待逐漸穩定。
