Typhoon 'Bavi' Path Revised... Expected to Pass Through Seoul on the 27th and Reach Pyongyang

The 8th typhoon of the season, 'Bavi,' is moving northward toward the Korean Peninsula and is expected to pass through Seoul and the metropolitan area around the 27th.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 23rd, Typhoon Bavi is expected to reach the sea about 270 km south of Seogwipo at 4 a.m. on the 26th, then pass through the sea about 20 km north-northwest of Mokpo at 3 a.m. the next day, and move inland about 280 km north-northeast of Pyongyang at 3 a.m. on the 28th.

In this process, there is a possibility that it will pass through Seoul and the metropolitan area around the 27th.

Initially, Typhoon Bavi was expected to exit through the East Coast near Sokcho, Gangwon Province, but its direction has shifted slightly northwest.

As of 3 a.m. on this day, Typhoon Bavi is still a small typhoon but is expected to gradually strengthen and develop into a very strong medium-sized typhoon by the 26th.

However, due to significant changes in the surrounding pressure systems near Korea, its path may change as it moves northward.

A Korea Meteorological Administration official emphasized, "Strong winds and heavy rain will occur depending on the typhoon's path, so nationwide preparedness is necessary, and especially thorough preemptive measures are required for coastal areas where massive damage is expected."

'Bavi' is a name submitted by Vietnam and refers to a mountain range located in northern Vietnam.
