[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Kyung-jun] Typhoon Muifa, the 12th typhoon of the season, reached 480 km south-southeast of Okinawa at 9 a.m. on the 10th with a strength classified as "strong."

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, Muifa is expected to maintain its strength and reach 230 km west of Okinawa by 9 a.m. on the 13th. However, it is still too early to determine whether it will affect the Korean Peninsula. The name Muifa was submitted by Macau to the Typhoon Committee and means "plum blossom."

On the third day of the Chuseok holiday, the 11th, the weather will be mostly cloudy nationwide, with occasional rain in Jeju Island and other areas.

Rain is expected in the Yeongdong region of Gangwon Province from early morning until noon, and along the eastern coast of Gyeongsang Province from morning to afternoon. From the afternoon, rain will occasionally fall along the southern coast, and from night, in the southern regions. Chungbuk Province may experience rain briefly at night.

Expected precipitation amounts are around 5 mm in Gangwon Yeongdong, Chungbuk, and southern regions. The expected rainfall in Jeju Island on the 10th and 11th is between 5 and 40 mm.

In the southern part of Gyeonggi Province and the northern part of Chungnam Province along the west coast, raindrops less than 0.1 mm may fall until the morning.

The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 17 and 21 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 23 and 28 degrees Celsius.

Strong winds and high waves are expected in the southern sea and around Jeju Island, so vessels engaged in navigation or fishing should exercise caution.
