Heavy rains in the northern part of Japan's Kyushu island are threatening the territory with landslides and flooding.

The Meteorological Agency says warm, damp air is flowing towards a seasonal rain front hovering around the Japanese archipelago, destabilizing atmospheric conditions. Rain clouds are developing in northern Kyushu and the Chugoku region.

Authorities in parts of Kyushu, southwestern Japan, have issued evacuation orders following reports of landslides and flooding.

Several houses have been flooded in Ashikita and Tsunagi towns, Kumamoto Prefecture.
