[Asia Economy Reporter Su Su-yeon] On Wednesday the 26th, the entire country will be under the influence of Typhoon No. 8 'Bavi', bringing rain and strong winds.


The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) expects Typhoon 'Bavi' to pass west of Jeju Island on the afternoon of the 26th and make landfall on the coast of Hwanghae Province on the 27th. The KMA stated, "Very strong winds and heavy rain are expected until the day after tomorrow (the 27th), so severe damage is anticipated. Please exercise special caution."


In particular, very strong winds with maximum instantaneous wind speeds of 144?216 km/h (40?60 m/s) are expected mainly around Jeju Island and the Jeolla coast, and strong winds with maximum instantaneous wind speeds of 126 km/h (35 m/s) are expected in other western regions and the southern coast, so caution is advised.


When wind speeds reach 40?60 m/s, it becomes impossible for people to walk, and wind speeds above 50 m/s can cause all types of wind-related disasters.
