[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Chang-won] Due to the impact of Typhoon No. 8 ‘Bavi,’ 314mm of rain fell on the Sasebi Hill of Witseoreum, Hallasan, from midnight on the 25th to 1 p.m. on the 26th.

Samgakbong recorded 266mm, and Witseoreum recorded 234.5mm of precipitation. Following strong winds, heavy rainfall is continuing, raising concerns about flood damage.

According to the Jeju Regional Meteorological Office on the 26th, 144mm of rain fell in Daejeong-eup, Seogwipo City, 108.1mm in Gosan, and 142.5mm at Sancheondan in Jeju City.

Currently, Jeju Island is experiencing very heavy rain of 30 to 50mm or more per hour due to the influence of Typhoon Bavi, and very heavy rain is expected to continue until the 27th.

In particular, very heavy and intense rainfall centered on mountainous areas may cause rivers and valleys to suddenly swell, so caution is advised against flood and sewage overflow damage.

Until early morning on the 27th, winds on Jeju Island are expected to blow very strongly at 35 to 70 km/h, with maximum instantaneous wind speeds of 145 to 215 km/h (40 to 60 m/s).

Meanwhile, Typhoon ‘Bavi’ is expected to pass through the sea about 190 km west of Seogwipo at 3 p.m. and then pass through the sea about 170 km southwest of Mokpo at 6 p.m. on the same day.
