Restoration work is still in progress in the Gyeongbuk area, which was heavily damaged by the typhoon, but the 14th typhoon is coming up again.

It remains to be seen where it will go, but first of all, it seems that it will go up to the far sea south of Jeju Island early next week, so the southern coast and Jeju area are likely to be affected by the typhoon.



Reporter Seo Dong-gyun will explain the expected route in detail.

Tropical vortices in the Northwest Pacific.



Between the 12th and 13th typhoons predicted to evade Korea, the 14th typhoon 'Nanmadol' is visible.



Nan Madol occurred at around 3 am today (14th) in the 1,300 km sea southeast of Okinawa, Japan.



According to the Korea Meteorological Administration's forecast, it is expected that it will head northwest toward Okinawa and then turn toward Korea on Sunday morning.



The U.S., European and Japanese meteorological authorities also expect to approach the southern coast of Jeju Island on the 19th.



However, since the route is flexible, various observations are coming out, including the Korean Strait, Kyushu, Japan, and China.



[Lee Kwang-yeon/Forecast Analyst, Korea Meteorological Administration: In the case of future routes, the variability is very large until now depending on the strength and phase of the surrounding barometer including the North Pacific high pressure.]



Currently, no matter which direction Nanmadol goes in the southern sea of ​​Jeju Island, Jeju Island and the southern coast may rain under the influence of typhoons.



Areas where the ground is weakened by Typhoon Hinnamno and the damage to facilities has not been restored requires preparation.



Nan Madol is expected to increase in power up to the river level as it moves north, and the temperature of the sea water is expected to be a variable.



Currently, the water temperature in the western Pacific is around 30 degrees, which is about 1 degree higher than normal.



It is a condition that increases the power of typhoons and can cause other typhoons.



In the years that Korea was most affected by typhoons in September, there were three typhoons in both 1959 and 2019.
