The strongest maximum gust of a typhoon in Japan was recorded on Mount Fuji, in the prefecture Shizuoka, in 1966, reaching a speed of 91 meters per second. Most typhoons approach Japan between June and October. While August is considered to be the peak of the typhoon season, the windiest storms typically approach the archipelago in September. Typhoons develop over the Pacific Ocean and are likely to approach Japan's southernmost prefecture Okinawa.
