[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-seop] The Jeju Regional Meteorological Administration forecasted on the 4th that rain would fall in the Jeju area due to rain clouds formed by the meeting of cold northeast winds and hot, humid southeast winds.

Currently, a heavy rain advisory has been issued for the mountainous areas of Jeju Island, a strong wind advisory for the entire Jeju region, and a high seas advisory for all seas around Jeju.

In Jeju, where the strong wind advisory is in effect, winds will blow very strongly at speeds of 10 to 16 m/s, with gusts exceeding 20 m/s.

The waves at sea will also be very high. Waves of 2.5 to 7 meters are expected in the seas around Jeju, and 3 to 8 meters in the distant southern seas of Jeju Island.
