Typhoon 'Muifa' Moves North Toward China... Strong Winds Expected Tomorrow in Jeju and the South Coast

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] Typhoon No. 12 "Muifa" is expected to head toward China, so it is unlikely to have a direct impact on South Korea.

The Korea Meteorological Administration announced on the 12th that Typhoon No. 12 "Muifa" has developed into a strong typhoon over the sea east of Taiwan, but it is expected to move northward toward the area near Shanghai and Qingdao in China later this week, so it will not have a direct impact on the Korean Peninsula.

However, due to the indirect effects of the typhoon, strong winds around 20 meters per second are expected to blow in Jeju Island and the southern coast starting from the 13th, and waves will rise mainly in the West Sea and South Sea, raising the possibility of a storm warning, so caution is required.

Also, the 25th tropical depression formed in the distant sea southeast of Japan is expected to develop into Typhoon No. 13 "Merbok," but it is forecast to move northward over the distant East Sea east of Japan, so it is unlikely to affect South Korea.
