The pink area indicating water surface temperature of 30 degrees has increased significantly since 30 years ago. The officials warned that typhoons traveling over warmer sea surfaces could develop more strength. The 10th storm of the season is expected to occur shortly and approach the Japanese archipelago this weekend.
