[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Monday the 9th, the whole country will be mostly cloudy, and the Yeongdong region of Gangwon Province will receive about 80mm of additional rain until tonight.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that Typhoon No. 9 Lupit will move northward into the Sea of Japan north of Japan, bringing strong east winds. Rain is expected until daytime in Gangwon Yeongseo, the eastern Gyeongsang region, and Jeju Island, and until 9 PM tonight in Gangwon Yeongdong.

Expected rainfall amounts are ▲Gangwon Yeongdong, Ulleungdo and Dokdo: 30~80mm ▲Inland Jeolla region and Gyeongsang region (except eastern Gyeongnam): 10~60mm ▲Gangwon Yeongseo, inland Chungcheong region, eastern Gyeongnam, and Jeju Island: 5~40mm.

Currently, Typhoon Lupit is moving north-northeast at 47 km/h in the sea southwest of Osaka and is expected to weaken into a tropical depression tonight.

During the night, Gangneung received more than 130mm of rain, and heavy rain warnings are in effect for Gangneung, Sokcho, and Goseong, while heavy rain advisories are issued for Donghae, Samcheok, and Yangyang.

Due to atmospheric instability, showers will fall nationwide on the 10th. From morning to night, most regions across the country are expected to receive about 5~60mm of rain.

The Korea Meteorological Administration said, "In areas where rain or showers fall until tomorrow, localized rain clouds may develop strongly, bringing very heavy rain exceeding 40mm per hour accompanied by thunder and lightning, so caution is needed to prevent damage."

While heavy rain falls on the east coast, inland areas will continue to experience heatwaves. The highest daytime temperature is forecasted to be 27~35 degrees Celsius. Most regions nationwide, except the east coast, will be very hot with daytime temperatures around 33 degrees Celsius, and tropical nights will continue mainly in urban areas, the southern coast, and Jeju Island.

Currently, typhoon warnings are in effect for the outer seas south of the southern East Sea and the outer seas east of the South Sea, and wind wave warnings are issued for other parts of the East Sea, South Sea, and the southern seas of Jeju Island.

Winds of 10~16 m/s and very high waves of 2~4 meters are expected until the 9th in the southern seas off Jeju Island and the inner eastern South Sea, and until the 10th in the outer eastern South Sea. Mariners and fishermen should exercise special caution.
