Although Faxai never made landfall, outer bands associated with the storm produced torrential rains, amounting to 458 mm (18.0 in) on Miyakejima.

Tropical Storm Faxai began as an area of convection that persisted about 805 kilometers (500 mi) west of Guam on October 24.

[2] Shortly after, the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert as convection deepened around a partially exposed low.

[3] At 0000 UTC on October 26, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) designated the system as a tropical depression and gave it the local name Juaning.

[2] The JTWC subsequently upgraded the depression to a tropical storm based on the development of a very impactful central dense overcast.

An anticyclone over Japan created a strong pressure gradient between it and the tropical storm, causing the wind field of Faxai to expand significantly to the northeast.

As the JTWC issued their final advisory,[9] they assessed the storm to have reached its peak intensity, with (one-minute sustained) winds of 75 km/h (47 mph).

[13][14] As Faxai approached Japan, All Nippon Airways canceled all of its day[discuss] flights between Tokyo and the Izu Islands.

Tokai Kisen, which operates ferries between Tokyo, the Izu Islands and Shizuoka Prefecture, canceled some services due to the storm.

[16] Although Faxai did not make landfall, the outer bands produced heavy rains, which caused minor damage along the eastern coast of Japan.
