[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The Korea Meteorological Administration announced that it will lift the strong wind advisory issued for Seoul at 11 p.m. on the 19th.

In addition to Seoul, the strong wind advisory will be lifted from 11 p.m. for Incheon (excluding Ongjin County), Gyeonggi's Seongnam, Anyang, Gwacheon, Ansan, as well as Yeosu and Geomundo in Jeollanam-do, and Sangju, Mungyeong, Andong in Gyeongsangbuk-do. For Gimhae and Hadong in Gyeongsangnam-do, the advisory will be lifted from midnight on the 20th.

After midnight on the 20th, strong wind warnings will remain only in Ongjin, Incheon, Gangwon-do, the coastal areas of Chungcheongnam-do, inland Chungcheongbuk-do, and coastal regions of Gyeongsang.

The strong wind warnings in these areas are expected to be lifted between early morning and morning on the 20th.

Due to strong winds caused by the pressure difference between the north and south, Seoul experienced maximum instantaneous wind speeds reaching 16.3 meters per second on this day. This was the strongest wind since September 7 last year (28.3 m/s), when the area was under the influence of Typhoon Lingling.

At one point in the afternoon, a strong wind warning was issued for the first time since the Korea Meteorological Administration began compiling data in 1999.
