<Anchor> The

weather will be the most important thing to extinguish a forest fire, but I'll ask Jung Gu-hee, a reporter in charge of meteorology. Please explain in detail how the wind is blowing in the Goseong area and how much happened yesterday (1st).

<Reporter> As you

have just seen in the videos, the wind is still very strong.

In fact, from around 4 o'clock yesterday, suddenly the gusts began to blow very strongly, and winds over the typhoon, literally over 17m per second, were blown up. In other words, it was recorded that strong winds of about 87km continued to blow.

As the wind blowing in Seoul is about 7.3m per second, it is now three times stronger than Seoul in Gangwon-do, and even if we look at all the gusts in Korea, the strongest wind in Korea is still in Goseong, Gangwon-do.

Once this morning, the wind at 65 km / h will continue to appear, and after the morning, the wind will gradually decrease.

But the most curious thing is that the strong winds caused some damage in the past year as well as the wildfires, so please explain why the strong winds are blowing in the Goseong area.

<Reporter> At

this time, the strong west wind will continue to blow.

High pressure is located on the south side of the Korean Peninsula and low pressure is located on the north side. As you can see in the picture, both high pressure and low pressure strengthen the western wind.

When this western wind crosses the Taebaek mountain range, it loses moisture and turns into a dry wind.

This is the yangganjipung.

The wind between Yangyang and Ganseong is called Yangganjipung. When the wind passes over the mountain range, all the moisture disappears and the temperature rises and dries.

So it turned into a better condition for fire, and today, the temperature in Goseong, Gangwon-do, soared to 32.4 degrees.

And the humidity is also very low, about 40%, and the first cause of the accident is a house ignition fire, which is presumed to have spread to a wildfire in this strong wind.
