Heavy rains and strong winds triggered flooding in residential areas, with authorities issuing landslide and evacuation warnings across multiple prefectures. By Tuesday morning, the storm had moved offshore into the Pacific Ocean, allowing officials to lift or downgrade most alerts.

Dujuan is the latest in a series of extreme weather events this year, adding to a global pattern of unusually heavy rains, floods, and tropical cyclones that have struck regions from East Asia to North America and Europe.

Emergency crews worked overnight to restore electricity and clear debris, while residents in affected areas braced for further disruptions. The storm’s impact has reignited concerns about climate change and rising disaster frequency across Asia.
