If we then assume that the average temperature is rising‚ I think that the long term warming will cause a bit more spreading (in number) of natural hazards such as monsoons‚ (droughts)‚ typhoons leading to more severe rainfall. Since the typhoons never really reaches the city but foremost Japan (due to the coriolis force/effect) the size and number may increase
