Typhoon Champi Approaching; Strong Winds and Heavy Rain in Southern Coast and Jeju

Under cloudy skies, rain clouds are extending as far as the southern region of Gangwon Province.

Typhoon Champi is moving northward over the waters northeast of Taiwan.

From yesterday (October 23) until now, heavy rainfall reaching 209 mm has been recorded at Samgakbong Peak in Jeju.

Looking at the typhoon's projected path, it will pass closest to Jeju in the early hours of Monday before heading toward the inland of Japan and gradually dissipating.

Accordingly, strong wind and heavy rain will continue in the southern coast and Jeju.

In particular, preliminary typhoon advisories have been issued for the far seas off Jeju and the southern far seas.

The advisories are expected to take effect between tomorrow morning and afternoon as the typhoon draws closer.

Here is the expected amount of rainfall until the morning of the day after tomorrow.

An additional heavy downpour of over 200 mm is expected in the mountainous areas of Jeju, and over 100 mm in the southern coast of South Gyeongsang Province. In these areas, torrential rain of 20 to 30 mm per hour will pour down, so safety precautions must be taken.

Rain is expected to continue in most places tomorrow as well.

Skies will be clear in the Seoul metropolitan area and inland Gangwon Province, where it will not rain.

Tomorrow morning's temperature will be 11°C (52°F) in Seoul, feeling a bit chillier than today, while daytime temperatures will rise to 24°C (75°F), creating a wide temperature range between day and night.

After all the rain clouds clear out on Monday morning, Seoul's morning temperature will plunge to 3°C (37°F) on Wednesday, the middle of the week, bringing the coldest weather so far this autumn.
