Japanese authorities order up to two million people to evacuate amid landslide and flood warnings, particularly in Kyoto. The storms disrupt transport, cancelling over 200 flights and halting a Toyota factory. In Taiwan, heavy rains shut down schools, offices, and a major rail link, while Hualien County evacuates residents near a filling barrier lake.
