The 21st typhoon 'Kong Lei' is expected to hit Taiwan today.

However, since the typhoon is expected to weaken rapidly at sea, Korea is not expected to have a direct impact from the typhoon.

However, it is said that there is a place where the rain and wind will become stronger from tomorrow, so I will connect with a reporter to find out more about it. Reporter Jung Hyeyoon!

There is even a saying that the typhoon is at the level of super strength, so how much is it?

[Reporter]
Yes, the sea water temperature near Taiwan, where the typhoon is currently located, is so high that it approaches 30 degrees.

As a result, the typhoon was expected to temporarily develop to a super strong level with a central wind speed of more than 194km/h overnight.

In fact, it has not become this strong, and it seems that it has developed to a very strong level with a central wind speed of 184 km per hour and a central air pressure of 920 hPa (hectopascal).

It's a robbery where a pylon collapses, a crane falls, and rocks can fly around.

Typhoon warnings and evacuation orders have been issued in each region in southern China, as well as Taiwan, where landfall is imminent.

However, the typhoon is expected to weaken quickly as it passes through Taiwan, where there are many mountain ranges, and then escape to the sea and move along the southern coast of China before weakening to a temperate cyclone at sea.

Therefore, there will be no direct impact from typhoons in Korea.

But I heard that some areas have rain and wind forecasts.

[Reporter]
Yes, it is. Although there is no direct impact from typhoons, there is a possibility that the temperate low pressure, or rain clouds left by typhoons, will affect Jeju Island and the southern coast.

The impact period is expected to be between tomorrow and the morning after tomorrow, the weekend, and the region is mainly Jeju Island, the southern coast, and some southern inland.

In particular, more than 250mm of heavy rain will fall into the mountains of Jeju, and more than 80mm of rain will fall on the southern coast of Jeollanam-do and the western southern coast of Gyeongnam.

Along with the rain, the wind will become stronger on Jeju Island and the southern coast, and the wind and waves will continue with up to 4.5m waves around the southern coast.Rain in

will mostly stop on the weekend morning, and mostly sunny and mild weather is expected in the central interior, including the metropolitan area.

However, next week, the cold continental high pressure will expand in the northwest, making it very cold from Monday.

Especially on Tuesday morning, the daytime temperature in Seoul is expected to drop to 3 degrees Celsius, the lowest this fall.
