TOKYO—Japan braced for high winds and heavy rain as a typhoon roared north on Sept. 28, enveloping outlying islands in high seas before taking aim at the rest of the nation and raking across its biggest main island at the weekend.
Typhoon Trami, rated category 2 by Tropical Storm Risk, with category 5 the highest, is the latest storm to threaten Japan in a year filled with more than the usual number of disasters, including punishing heat, heavy rains and landslides.
