New Delhi, Typhoon Jelawat with winds of up to 130 kmph, left at least two people dead and injured more than 180 in Japan during the weekend before passing out into the Pacific Ocean on Monday.

Jelawat is expected to be downgraded to a tropical low later in the day but Hokkaida has been warned of further strong winds and high waves during the next twenty four hours.

Over 500 flights were canceled on Sunday and Shinkansen Bullet train services were also affected by the powerful typhoon. Jelawat is a "very strong" storm with maximum sustained winds near the center of just over 100 mph (165 km/h).
