It was the next typhoon after Lekima, in the [[2019 Pacific typhoon season]]. == Storm history == A tropical depression formed near [[Mariana Islands]] on August 5. By August 6, it intensified into a tropical storm, and was named Krosa by the JMA. Tropical Storm Krosa soon became a typhoon, and rapidly intensified to become a category 3-equivalent typhoon on August 8. Upwelling of cooler waters induced weakening thereafter; by August 13, Krosa weakened below typhoon intensity. Krosa continued moving, albeit slowly, towards Japan with little change in intensity. Moderately conducive conditions were unable to aid Krosa in strengthening, and it stayed the same intensity before landfall in Japan. On August 14, Krosa emerged in the [[Sea of Japan]] and a few days later on August 16 Krosa transitioned into an extratropical low. == Impact == The typhoon brought torrential rain to parts of Shikoku and Honshu, with accumulations peaking at {{convert|869.5|mm|in|abbr=on}} at Yanase in [[Kochi Prefecture]]. Wind gusts reached {{convert|151|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} in [[Muroto]]. Rough seas produced by the storm killed two people while flooding killed one other.<ref>{{cite web|author=Eric Leister|publisher=Accuweather|date=August 17, 2019|access-date=August 21, 2019|title=At least 3 dead as Krosa pounds Japan with 30 inches of rain and wind gusts of nearly 90 mph|url=https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/2-dead-as-krosa-strikes-japan-with-800-mm-of-flooding-rain/70009064}}</ref> Fifty-five people were injured in various incidents.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://mainichi.jp/articles/20190816/k00/00m/040/331000c|script-title=ja:台風10号、高波や川の増水で死者3人に 温帯低気圧に変わり北海道へ|language=ja|newspaper=Mainichi Shimbun|date=August 16, 2019|access-date=August 17, 2019}}</ref> Agricultural damage in Japan reach
