Far Seas See Three 'Autumn Typhoons' at Once... Domestic Impact Uncertain

Typhoons No. 9 and 10 Have No Major Impact on Korea
Path of Typhoon No. 11 Still Unpredictable
Nationwide Cloudy with Occasional Rain Expected Until the Day After Tomorrow

Today (28th), as the weather is cloudy and rainy nationwide, attention is growing on the movement paths of three autumn typhoons occurring around the Korean Peninsula.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 28th, Typhoon No. 9 'Saola' and Typhoon No. 10 'Damrey' are heading toward China and Japan respectively, and are not expected to have a significant impact domestically.

The domestic impact of Typhoon No. 11 'Haikui' is still difficult to predict. The tropical depression No. 19, expected to develop into Haikui, was located about 540 km northwest of Guam as of 3 a.m. on the 28th.

The tropical depression No. 19 is expected to move northwestward, develop into a medium-strength typhoon, and approach about 640 km southeast of Okinawa, Japan by the 1st of next month.

However, since global numerical models predict different paths for the tropical depression, there is still a high degree of uncertainty. Meteorological analyst Park Jeong-min of the Korea Meteorological Administration explained, "Tropical depression No. 19 has not yet developed into a typhoon, so the situation is very volatile."

By the 29th, 20~80mm of rain is expected in the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Province, Chungcheong region, Jeolla region, and Gyeongsang region. The expected rainfall in Jeju Island is 10~60mm.

Some areas such as northern Gyeonggi, northern Gangwon Yeongseo, and the eastern southern coast of Jeollanam-do may experience heavy rainfall exceeding 100mm.
