The deluge follows a period of punishing heat in many parts of Japan, with a national record temperature of 41.8C set this week.
Local media reported that Kirishima city, Kagoshima, saw a record rain of 500 millimetres in the 24 hours through 5:00 am, twice the average rainfall for the entire month of August.
“Even though the warning has been downgraded, please remain vigilant and ensure your safety,“ JMA official Shuichi Tachihara said at a press conference.
Over 122,000 residents in Kirishima were urged to evacuate, while the warning was lifted for people in the neighbouring Miyazaki region.
