Tomorrow's Outlook<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tomorrow (Oct. 25), as the typhoon moves northward and passes through the area, the weather on Iriomote Island will beShowing signs of a rapid recovery<\/strong>I'm heading to [...]. According to the forecast,Cloudy with occasional rain<\/strong>, Awesome29\u00b0C<\/strong>Lowest24\u00b0C<\/strong>And the temperature will start to rise. The chance of precipitation in the morning is60%<\/strong>\u30fbAfternoon25\u00b0C<\/strong>And it looks like we'll start seeing patches of blue sky this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Typhoons tend to pass through Iriomote Island even more quickly than they do through Ishigaki Island, andWe expect to be able to survey the mangrove area starting tomorrow morning.<\/strong>That's right. Since our mangrove SUP and canoe tours, which take place on the Uchikawa River, aren't affected by waves from the open ocean, we can resume them relatively quickly even after a typhoon has passed. We check the conditions first thing in the morning and provide you with the latest information.<\/p>\n

After a typhoon passes, the jungle is transformed into a completely different forest, with rain-washed leaves reflecting the light and sparkling brilliantly. And once the swells subside, the coral reefs of Barasu Island welcome us with the crystal-clear waters unique to the post-typhoon period. Now is your chance to experience the special beauty of Iriomote Island!<\/p>\n
