I'm not reading that on news sites lol, I don't count meteorologists as sensationalists.

Friday: While Typhoon Phanfone is the main synoptic feature near southern Japan this weekend there are other things to consider before this has any impact. A cold front will move slowly southeastwards on Friday, the lack of speed being due to winds aligned parallel to the front. This will produce plenty of cloud and periods of showery rain; only clearing in the afternoon. Temperatures will stay on the warm side, reaching around 26 or 27 Celsius.

Saturday: A better day is in store with much clearer air behind the cold front, this giving plenty of sunshine and dry weather throughout the day. It will still be warm with a maximum of 26 degrees and a moderate, occasionally fresh, northwesterly wind. During the late afternoon cloud will begin to increase from the south.

Sunday: Present indications are that Typhoon Phanfone will be centred to the southeast of Japan on Sunday but with bands of rain on the northern flank running well ahead of the centre. This would give overcast skies and persistent rain, occasionally heavy, across the Suzuka Circuit from the morning and lasting at least until the evening. It will also be much cooler with temperatures just getting above 20 Celsius. It could be a breezy day, depending on where exactly the centre of the storm is, but nothing particularly damaging until Monday when it is closest to land.
