Line-shaped precipitation band develops in southern Tokushima, raising disaster risk

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued a meteorological disaster warning at 1:21 am on June 3, 2026, for southern Tokushima Prefecture, confirming the formation of a line-shaped precipitation band. This phenomenon, characterised by a line of developing cumulonimbus clouds, has triggered heavy rainfall and heightened risks of landslides and flooding. In response, emergency safety measures were mandated for 63 individuals across 31 households in the Chosei district of Anan. Concurrently, approximately 17,000 households across the four Shikoku prefectures experienced power outages as of 1:00 am on June 3. The event is associated with Typhoon 6, which has also caused transport disruptions, including flight cancellations at Haneda Airport and potential Shinkansen suspensions.

Joe Mayer receives Courage Award following father's death

Joe Mayer, a recent graduate of Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky, has been named a recipient of The Enquirer’s Courage Award for 2026.

Mayer, who maintained a 3.99 grade point average and served as class president, has assumed the role of primary caregiver for his family of six, including five younger siblings. Despite receiving Division I recruitment interest, he enrolled at the University of Kentucky to remain close to his family, opting to participate in club and intramural running rather than collegiate athletics. He is one of six recipients to be honoured at the High School Sports Awards show on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.
