Typhoon Soulik is forecast to move up the western side of the country, including the capital Seoul.
For more, let's go straight to our Lee Jee-hyun who has the details for us at the weather center. Jee-hyun, fill us in.

Hello again, Mark. Jeju Island is currently seeing torrential showers and has been since Wednesday afternoon. Jeju's Hallasan Mountain has received the heaviest showers so far,... with more than 700 millimeters.
The strong, gusty wind is an issue as well.

The typhoon continues to slowly move in a northeasterly direction at a speed of 16 kilometers an hour ...after dropping more showers on Jeju, it will bring torrential downpours to Jeolla-do provinces. The typhoon will hit Seoul by early Friday morning.

So Jeju is the hardest-hit area at the moment, and Soulik will gradually travel in a northeasterly direction, significantly impacting the southwestern city of Gwangju by around 9 PM tonight. Seoul will see intensely strong winds by around 7AM on Friday morning.

As of right now,... typhoon alerts are in place for Jeju and Korea's southern regions but they will expand to central regions as the day goes on. Brace yourself for damaging wind and intense showers.

Jeju could possibly see 300 millimeters more rain,... while the Jeollado regions could see 400 millimeters... Seoul will start to see showers in the morning.

Temperatures will go down a few notches with highs ranging from 28 to 32 degrees Celsius.

That's all for now, stay safe...back to you Mark in the studio.
