The 10th typhoon “High Line” moving toward the Korean Peninsula is approaching the southwestern part of the Japanese archipelago.
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, as of today (5th) 5am, the High Line is moving in the northwest direction at a speed of 15 km/h from about 280 km southeast of Minamidaito Island in the east of Okinawa.
The high ship, whose central air pressure fell to 920 hPa, currently has a maximum wind speed of 50 m near the center and a maximum instantaneous wind speed of 70 m.
Due to the influence of the high line, the region where strong winds of 15 m/s or more per second blow from the center reaches 500 km to the northeast and 390 km to the southwest.
The intensity of typhoons is classified as'Medium' for 25m to less than 33m per second,'strong' for more than 33m to less than 44m,'very strong' for more than 44m to less than 54m, and'super strong' for more than 54m depending on the maximum wind speed near the center. It's possible.
A very strong typhoon can throw people or large stones, and a super typhoon can destroy a building.
The high ship is expected to move to about 160km south of Minamidaito Island, with a strong typhoon with a maximum wind speed of 55m per second and a maximum instantaneous wind speed of 75m near the center around 3pm today.
It is expected to advance to the Korean peninsula after approaching or landing in the Kyushu region tomorrow (6th) through Okinawa and the Amami Islands tomorrow (7th).
The Japan Meteorological Agency is urging local residents to evacuate to a safe place, saying that there is a concern that high ships may cause storms, high waves, tsunamis, and heavy rains that have not been experienced before.
