No. 14 typhoon 'Chantu' is coming to Korea. The current route seems highly likely to pass through the South Sea on Friday and Saturday this week, and it is predicted that heavy rain of up to 500mm will fall until the day after tomorrow (15th) on Jeju Island, the path of the typhoon.

strong wind and rain blows in the northern part of the Philippines, causing the trees to stagger as if they are about to break.
On the cliffs of Taiwan's coast, the waterfalls can't withstand the strong winds and rise upside down.
Typhoon 'Chantu', which is currently passing through the sea in the northeast of Taiwan, is slightly weaker than yesterday, but still maintains a strong force.
The typhoon will go north to Shanghai, China tonight, stay near Shanghai until the day after tomorrow, and then sharply turn to the right, and it is expected to head north to Korea.
If this is expected, it will rise to the west coast of Jeju Island at dawn on Friday, the 17th, and it is expected to pass through the southern seas from noon Friday to the morning of Saturday, the 18th.
First of all, I am concerned about the rain.
This typhoon is characterized by the explosive development of rain clouds in the front.
On Jeju Island, where it is raining, the amount of rain alone is expected to exceed 500 mm by the day after Wednesday.
From Friday, when the typhoon passes over the South Sea, rain will spread across the country, but strong winds and heavy rain may come in the southern regions.
As the typhoon unusually stays near Shanghai for three days, its path and force are still in flux.
[Han Sang-eun/Meteorological Specialist at Korea Meteorological Administration: Even if the point of stopping and moving is slightly delayed, the time difference becomes very large when it passes through Korea later.]
The Korea Meteorological Administration announced that it will provide more detailed information including the possibility of a typhoon landing on the Korean Peninsula tomorrow.
