The strongest sustained winds in Japan were recorded in 1942 at Mount Fuji, in the prefecture Shizuoka, and reached a speed of 72.5 meters per second. Japanese weather agencies define the zone around the eye of a typhoon with sustained winds that exceed 25 meters per second, to classify the strongest area of the tropical cyclone. While August is considered to be the peak of the typhoon season, the windiest storms typically approach the archipelago in September.
