If you're wondering why I'm bothering to check BBC weather reports for a country and city I'm already in, it's because very early on I discovered that the BBC weather reports for Tokyo were all but useless because they were so inaccurate as to be basically bare faced lies.

So now it's become a bit of a game, comparing it to more accurate weather predictions that seem to actually be trying to be accurate as opposed to throwing a dart at a board covered in weather symbols.

Japan: holy shit this is the biggest typhoon since 1958 AAAAAA!
BBC weather reporting on Tokyo forecast:

Oh my god this isn't even the typhoon yet either?! This is just the actual outer reaches of it?! The eye is still over the sea holy fuck. It's gonna be before midnight tonight when it hits Tokyo proper. O_o;;

Me earlier going out in the admittedly pretty high winds and heavy rain with an umbrella: "psh. This Typhoon business is a joke. It's just a bit of rain"
Me after learning that wasn't the typhoon at all and it was just normal rain and wind: "oh."
Me now stuck in this hotel as the typhoon slowly approaches with the winds and rain gradually getting worse and worse: "oh dear"

Bleh. Basically stuck in this hotel until Sunday it looks like. Not that the hotel is bad just... Not a whole lot to do. :<

So yeah uh.... Well it's pissing down with rain here, high winds but nothing more than a storm in England....

But it turns out that's because the typhoon hasn't actually hit yet... It's uh... Imminent.

Hmm

Gonna be perfectly safe mind you. This hotel is solid. Or, well, super well prepared for natural weather events like this.

I mean, I'm gonna take photos anyway.

By which I mean through the window of my hotel room because I doubt my phone will survive the rain.

Hey turns out the typhoon that's near Japan just took like a wild swing to the right and is literally gonna (probably) hit Tokyo. This Sunday. Where I still am.

Who wants me to take some photos of it??

Then who was toot?!?
