Rain rains all weekend in Jeju and southern regions as Typhoon Champi approaches... A little rain in Chungcheong

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jaeyoung Lee = Rain is expected to continue throughout the weekend in Jeju and the southern region.

As of 5 p.m. on the 23rd, rain is falling mainly on Jeju and the southern coast. This is because water vapor is flowing in from the south due to the influence of Typhoon Champi No. 30 and the subtropical high pressure in southeastern Japan.

Champi passed through the waters 240 km southeast of Taipei, Taiwan, at 3 p.m. on this day with intensity level 3, and turned northeast to reach waters 440 km south-southwest of Seogwipo around 3 p.m. on the 25th. Afterwards, it is expected to move northeast toward Kagoshima, Japan, and make landfall while weakening into an extratropical cyclone.

On Saturday, the 24th, while precipitation will continue in Jeju and the southern region, rain will also fall in the eastern coast and mountainous areas of southern Gangwon between the morning and afternoon, and in the southeastern part of South Chungcheong Province and the central and southern parts of North Chungcheong Province in the afternoon.

Rain will continue in Jeju and the southern region on the 25th, with rain expected to fall in Chungcheong in the afternoon and the eastern coast and mountains of Gangwon starting in the afternoon.

Jeju is expected to receive heavy rain of 80 to 150 mm until the 25th. In mountainous and mid-mountainous areas, it will rain more than 250 mm, and in the southern and eastern parts of the country, there will be places where it rains more than 200 mm.

Expected precipitation by the weekend by region is 30-80 mm in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam (over 100 mm in many places on the southern coast), 20-60 mm in Gwangju, Jeonnam, Daegu, and southern Gyeongbuk (over 80 mm in many places on the south coast), 5-50 mm in southeastern Jeollabuk-do, and central Gyeongbuk, northern Gyeongbuk, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo. 5 to 40 mm, Jeonbuk (excluding the southeast) 5 to 30 mm, Gangwon's east coast, Gangwon mountainous area, Daejeon, south-eastern Chungnam, central Chungbuk and southern Chungcheong 5 to 10 mm, and Gangwon's southern east coast, Gangwon's southern Busan mountain area and Chungcheong around 5 mm.

There may be heavy rain in Jeju and the southern coast.

A heavy rain (preliminary) warning has been issued for Jeju.

In areas excluding the northern and western parts of Jeju, heavy rain will fall at a rate of 20 to 30 mm per hour until the morning of the 24th and from early morning to the morning of the 25th. Northern and western Jeju will see rain of around 20 mm per hour at similar times.

Heavy rain of around 20 mm per hour is expected on the southern coast from the morning of the 24th to late afternoon.

Strong winds were also forecast in Jeju and the southern coast.

In Jeju, instantaneous wind speeds will exceed 70 km/h (90 km/h in mountainous areas), and strong winds with instantaneous wind speeds of around 55 km (15 m/s) will blow on the southern coast from the early morning of the 24th.

As it is the season when leaves fall, it is necessary to check in advance to ensure that fallen leaves from wind and rain do not block rainwater drains and cause damage.

It is expected that swells will continue to flow into the Jeju coast and the southern coast, so you should refrain from going to the coast. This is because there is a high risk of accidents occurring as waves strong enough to break over the seashore rocks or breakwaters rush towards the coast.

Swells will also flow into the Gangwon-dong coast until the morning of the 24th.

In the case of the sea, the wind is blowing strongly at 30 to 65 km/h (8 to 18 ㎧) and the waves are as high as 1.5 to 3.5 m in the Jeju sea (excluding the northern coastal waters), the eastern South Sea, and the southern West Sea, where a storm warning has been issued, is expected to continue for the time being.

In particular, waves will rise to a maximum of 5.0 m or more in the sea south of Jeju and the sea outside the eastern South Sea from the night of the 23rd, and in the sea off Jeju (excluding the northern part) from the early morning of the 25th, so be especially careful. There is a possibility that a wind warning may be issued in these waters.

In the southern seas, the northern Jeju Island coast, and the eastern southern seas, winds will blow strongly at 30 to 65 km per hour from early morning on the 24th, and waves will rise to a height of 1.5 to 3.5 meters.

Temperatures over the weekend will be similar to or slightly higher than average temperatures.

The lowest temperature on the morning of the 24th will be 8 to 17 degrees, and the highest temperature during the day will be 16 to 21 degrees.

The expected minimum and maximum temperatures in major cities are 13 degrees and 21 degrees in Seoul, 14 degrees and 21 degrees in Incheon, 13 degrees and 19 degrees in Daejeon, 14 degrees and 19 degrees in Gwangju and Daegu, 16 degrees and 19 degrees in Ulsan, and 17 degrees and 19 degrees in Busan.

On the 25th, the lowest morning temperature will be 9 to 18 degrees and the highest daytime temperature will be 19 to 25 degrees.
