The Japanese city of Nagoya faced, this Tuesday, the highest amount of rain recorded in one hour since records began in the city. This historic rainfall caused severe flooding in several areas of the urban area.

The consequences of the flooding were severe, with major disruptions to the city's traffic. The images released show cars advancing with difficulty through completely flooded roads, illustrating the scale of the meteorological phenomenon.

Several areas of Nagoya were covered by water due to the intensity of the rain, transforming normally busy streets into rivers. The situation forced authorities to deal with the effects of an unprecedented meteorological event in the city's history.

The NHC Confirms That the Start of the Atlantic Hurricane Season Was the Calmest in at Least 60 Years

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) confirmed that the start of the Atlantic hurricane season was the calmest in at least 60 years. Since the beginning of the year, only five tropical storms formed, all of short duration, and satellite images from September 5 showed no cyclonic activity in the Atlantic basin, which remained relatively clear, with only some Saharan dust to the east. While three hurricanes were ravaging the Pacific, the Atlantic continued eerily quiet even as the peak of the season approached on September 10. The calm is such that a record may soon be broken, with September 12 being the latest date on which a hurricane formed in the Atlantic. Since the beginning of satellite records in 1966, only seven years have had no hurricane in September.
