"Three Typhoons at Once" Causes Alarm... Will It Affect South Korea?

Here is our next story.

"Three typhoons coming all at once."

This is the situation in our neighboring country, Japan.

If you are planning a business trip or travel to Japan, please pay close attention to this report.

According to the Meteorological Administration, the 29th typhoon of the year, named "Koguma," formed at around 9:00 a.m. yesterday in the waters about 2,560 km east of Guam.

Combined with the previously active 27th typhoon "Choi-wan" and the 28th typhoon "Nangka," a triple typhoon phenomenon with three typhoons existing simultaneously is unfolding in Japan.

Local Japanese media have reported that the impact of these three typhoons is likely to be concentrated from the 10th to the 12th.

At present, the possibility of any direct impact on South Korea is expected to be low.

Meanwhile, as I mentioned earlier, the name of the 29th typhoon is "Koguma."

Naturally, I thought it referred to the edible sweet potato submitted by South Korea, but it turns out the name was submitted by Japan and means the constellation Ursa Minor.

In any case, since it is the Hangul Day holiday weekend, anyone planning to head to Japan would be wise to check the weather forecasts.
