At 1:49 a.m., the Japan Meteorological Agency announced a meteorological and disaster prevention bulletin with a ``short-term forecast for a linear precipitation zone,'' stating that there is an increasing possibility that a linear precipitation zone will occur within the next three hours in the Chikugo region of Fukuoka Prefecture. A "linear precipitation belt" is a phenomenon in which a series of developed cumulonimbus clouds bring heavy rain, and extremely heavy rain continues to fall in the Chikugo region of Fukuoka Prefecture, potentially rapidly increasing the risk of life-threatening landslides and floods. The Japan Meteorological Agency urges people who are near cliffs or rivers to check evacuation information from local governments and check the surrounding situation.
