what was the name of the typhoon in japan
Typhoon Jebi (2018) Typhoon Jebi, known in the Philippines as Typhoon Maymay, is considered to be the strongest typhoon to strike Japan since Typhoon Yancy in 1993.[1] Jebi formed as a tropical depression on August 26, before becoming the twenty-first named storm of the 2018 Pacific typhoon season on August 28. It rapidly intensified into a typhoon on the following day and reached its peak intensity on August 31, after striking the Northern Mariana Islands. Jebi initiated a slow weakening trend on September 2 and made landfall over Shikoku, and then the Kansai region of Japan, as a very strong typhoon on September 4.
