A storm system is forecast to slowly move across eastern China late Saturday and into early Sunday (JST). As the leading frontal boundary moves across central Japan, favorable upper-level winds and strong low-level moisture moving into the region will bring a risk for midday storms Sunday.

More about Suzuka Circuit
The Suzuka Circuit, located in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture, Japan, is one of the most iconic and technically challenging racetracks in motorsport. Designed in 1962 by Dutch engineer John Hugenholtz as a test track for Honda, the circuit is renowned for its unique figure-eight layout—one of the few in the world—where the back straight passes over the front section via an overpass. This 5.807 km (3.608 mi) track features 18 turns, a mix of high-speed corners, hairpins, and elevation changes that demand precision and skill from drivers.
Suzuka has been a staple in the Formula 1 calendar since it hosted its first Japanese Grand Prix in 1987. Over the years, it has become a fan favorite and a favorite among drivers due to its fast, flowing nature and iconic sections such as the "S" Curves, the Degner Curves, Spoon Curve, and the 130R—a daunting high-speed left-hander. Its technical complexity and narrow margins for error make it a true test of driver ability and car performance.
The Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka often plays a pivotal role in the F1 World Championship, with numerous titles decided at this circuit. Its passionate fanbase and electric atmosphere, combined with the unpredictable weather often experienced in the region, add to the drama and excitement of race weekends.
In addition to F1, Suzuka also hosts other major racing events, including Super GT, Super Formula, and endurance races. The circuit is not only a motorsport landmark in Japan but also a global symbol of racing heritage and excellence.
