On the 9th, as the 6th typhoon 'Khanun' is moving northward, strong winds brought by the typhoon combined with the building wind near LCT in Haeundae-gu, Busan, making it difficult for tourists holding umbrellas to walk.

Khanun is expected to make landfall around 9 a.m. on the 10th about 30 km west of Tongyeong, then move northward, passing about 60 km south-southeast of Cheongju around 3 p.m., and about 40 km southeast of Seoul around 9 p.m., before crossing into North Korea.

Expected rainfall from the 9th to the 10th (until the 11th in the central region, and until early morning of the 12th in northwestern Gyeonggi) is 200-400 mm (over 600 mm in some areas) in Gangwon Yeongdong, and 100-200 mm in Gangwon Yeongseo, Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi, the five West Sea islands, Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam, and Chungbuk.

Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Jeonbuk will receive 100-200 mm (over 300 mm in some areas such as the southern coast of Jeonnam and the eastern inland of Jeolla), Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam will have 100-300 mm (over 400 mm in some areas such as the western inland of Gyeongsang and the coastal areas of Gyeongsang), and Ulleungdo and Dokdo are forecasted to receive 30-80 mm of rain. Jeju Island will experience 100-200 mm (over 300 mm in mountainous areas) of rain.

In Gangwon Yeongdong, the coastal areas of Gyeongsang, the western inland of Gyeongsang, the eastern inland of Jeolla, the southern coast of Jeonnam, and Jeju Island, hourly rainfall of 40-60 mm is expected (especially 60-80 mm per hour in Gangwon Yeongdong, with some places exceeding 100 mm), while other regions may experience very heavy rain around 30 mm per hour.

From night, rain will gradually cease in the southern regions and Jeju Island. Due to the typhoon, maximum instantaneous wind speeds of around 40 m/s are expected along the eastern southern coast of Jeonnam and the coastal areas of Gyeongsang, 25-35 m/s in Gangwon Yeongdong, inland Gyeongsang, Jeolla (excluding the eastern southern coast of Jeonnam), the western coast of Chungnam, and Jeju Island, 20-30 m/s in Incheon, the western coast of Gyeonggi, southern inland Gyeonggi, Gangwon Yeongseo, and inland Chungcheong, and 15-25 m/s in Seoul and northern inland Gyeonggi.

Strong winds may cause damage to facilities and secondary damage from falling objects such as signboards and tree branches, so special attention should be paid to pedestrian safety and traffic safety. Morning low temperatures are forecasted to be 23-25 degrees Celsius, and daytime highs 25-29 degrees Celsius.

Sea waves will be high, reaching 3.0-7.0 m in the East Sea coastal waters, 1.5-6.0 m in the West Sea coastal waters, and 2.0-6.0 m in the South Sea coastal waters. Attention should be paid to damage to maritime facilities such as ships and aquaculture farms, and ships should seek safe shelter.

Wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are expected to be 3.0-8.0 m in the East Sea, 2.0-7.0 m in the West Sea, and 2.0-8.0 m in the South Sea.
