[Weather] Jeju Island's heavy rain warning...Up to 250mm more by tomorrow.

[Anchor]
Typhoon 'Kong Lei', which hit Taiwan, is weak and passes through the southern waters of Shanghai, China.

The typhoon is expected to weaken due to low pressure in the southern seas far away from Jeju Island overnight, and the remaining rain clouds are expected to affect Korea as well.

I'll connect you to a reporter for more information.

Reporter Jeong Hye-yoon. The rain is getting stronger in Jeju Island?

[Journalist]
Yes, that's right.

The rain is getting stronger in Jeju Island as steam flows in from the front of the typhoon.

Typhoon 'Kong Lei' is currently passing Taiwan and south of Shanghai, China.

The power is very weak, but tonight, it is expected to move further east and turn into a temperate cyclone in the southern seas of Jeju Island.

Therefore, Korea is not directly affected by typhoons, but it is expected to be affected by rain clouds accompanied by low pressure in the future.

As the typhoon gradually moves northward, water vapor flows into Jeju Island and the southern part of the country, creating rain clouds.

Jeju Island, where strong red rain clouds flow in, has already received 200m of rain today alone, mainly in the mountains, and the southern coast has also received around 50mm of rain.

Overnight, Jeju Island is expected to see 30 to 50 millimeters of heavy rain per hour more concentrated.

Heavy rain warnings are currently being issued in the southwestern part of Jeju Island in northern and southern, central and mountain areas of Jeju Island, and strong wind warnings are in place in Jeju Island and Jeollanam-do Island.A special storm warning is being issued around the southern sea of
.

A preliminary warning of strong winds is in place on the coast of Jeollanam-do and the coast of Gyeongnam.

By tomorrow morning, the mountains of Jeju Island will receive up to 250mm more of heavy rain, and the southern coast of South Gyeongsang Province, including the southern coast of South Jeolla Province and Busan, will also receive up to 80mm of heavy rain.

In particular, strong winds of around 25m per second will blow on Jeju Island and the southern coast, and wild waves will be high at sea.

In particular, flights have been delayed since the afternoon due to strong winds and heavy rain on Jeju Island. For those who use the airport, please check the flight information in advance.
