Let's take a closer look at the current situation with reporter Seo Dong-gyun of the weather team.



Q. Where is the current location of the typhoon?



[Reporter Seo Dong-gyun: Currently, it has passed 390 km south-southwest of Seogwipo around 10 am and is now a little closer.

Since the radius of strong winds is over 400km, Jeju Island is already affected directly within the radius of strong winds from an hour or two ago.

First of all, because of the rain, it rained more than 250mm in the mountains and more than 100mm in the inland.

Currently, it is raining 15-20mm per hour.

The strong winds are also very strong.

A wind of 34 m/s was already blowing over Jeju.

Even now, winds of more than 20m are blowing.]



Q. The view of the southern coast of Gyeongsangnam-do at the landing point, in which area specifically?



[Reporter Seo Dong-gyun: First of all, it seems that the southern coast of Gyeongnam is definitely going to be landing.

The typhoon is now slowly swaying left and right from the center.

Because of this, the Korea Meteorological Administration predicted that it would land on the southern coast of Gyeongnam from Busan to Tongyeong.

According to the current forecast, it is expected to land near Tongyeong and Geoje tomorrow (6th) around 6-7 am.

In any case, the radius of the typhoon's strong wind is so large that even if a typhoon hits the southern coast of Gyeongnam, there is a concern that it will cause great damage



.



[Reporter Seo Dong-gyun: First of all, it seems to be approaching Jeju Island at 6 pm today and 3 or 4 pm today.

First, it was confirmed that the typhoon was a little further east than the Meteorological Administration predicted.

Because of this, the Korea Meteorological Administration believes that the possibility of landing on Jeju Island is low.]



Q. Is there a possibility that the force of the typhoon will become weaker?



[Reporter Seo Dong-gyun: First of all, this is our country passing 30 degrees north latitude.

The upper barometer of our country is making a very advantageous barometer that can prevent typhoons from dying right now.

Typhoons rotate counterclockwise.

A barometer that can further increase this counterclockwise rotational force in the upper barometer of Korea is now located, so the typhoon is not losing its power faster than expected.

We will maintain a very strong degree even to the point of passing the South Sea, which is approaching our country.

At this time, winds of 40 m/s or more will blow from the center.

It will be early morning tomorrow, just before landing in Korea.

Tomorrow at around 5 or 6 am, the intensity will drop to a strong grade, but you won't like it because it's weakened, and you'll have to keep preparing because the grade is also a very strong wind.]



Q. How much rain?



[Reporter Seo Dong-gyun: First of all, didn't the typhoon not rain in the metropolitan area yesterday?

As the typhoon blows warm air from the front and collides with the cold air in Korea, it is already raining in the metropolitan area and raining on Jeju Island.

This rain is predicted to rain 600mm or more until tomorrow in the mountainous areas of Jeju Island.

In the case of the southern coast, more than 400 mm, and in other parts of the country, very heavy rain of 100 to 300 mm was forecast.

Not only is it directly affected by the typhoon, but it has been raining since the weekend, so in the case of low-lying areas, you should prepare for flood damage.

Because the ground is weakened and there is damage from landslides, people living at the foot of a mountain or in such an area where there is a risk of human casualties should avoid it.]



Q. Is a tsunami expected?



[Reporter Seo Dong-gyun: If you look at the southern coast area, today 4pm to 5pm is high tide.

It coincides with the time when the typhoon is approaching.

In the case of a typhoon, since it is a low pressure, the typhoon itself plays a role in raising the sea level.

However, as it overlaps with this high tide, more storm surge damage is expected, so those on the coast should be careful.

When the last typhoon came, there was a lot of damage, such as flooding the coastal road, so you have to be more careful about this.

Tomorrow morning is also a problem.

Because the speed of the typhoon is getting a little faster, the high tide again overlaps the southern coast at dawn tomorrow.

For this reason, it would be better not to go to the coast at all when the high tide times this afternoon and tomorrow morning overlap.]



Q. What kind of preparation is needed to reduce damage?



[Reporter Dong-Gyun Seo: As I said earlier, it is correct not to enter dangerous areas at all.

Even at home, it was the same with the last typhoon, because the force of the typhoon was so strong that the glass twisted and shards of glass splattered and killed people.

Even if you are in an apartment like this, if you think that you may be damaged by any object or something, it would be better to stay a little farther away.

Although the typhoon is not moving faster than expected, it passes through Korea from midnight today to the morning of tomorrow.

Since we don't stay as long as we thought, the most effective way to reduce damage is to refrain from moving and limiting outdoor activities.]
