Typhoon Soulik to have lesser impact than expected, eastern parts of Gangwon-do Province on high alert
- 6 years ago
Typhoon Soulik hasn't had much impact on the capital area... but eastern areas of Gangwon-do Province are on high alert.
Let's get a check up on what's happening regarding the typhoon from our weathercaster, Lee Jee-hyun who's standing by at the weather center. Jee-hyun, fill us in.
Hello again, Mark. Those in the eastern parts of Gangwon-do Province are seeing heavy showers, rain will pick up in the afternoon while strong winds of up to 20 meters per second, or 70 kilometers per hour, are expected.
Typhoon advisories have been upgraded to warnings in parts of Gangwon-do Province, as well as Korea's easternmost islands of Dokdo and Ulleungdo. Both the West Sea and the East Sea are also seeing strong winds.
The typhoon is forecast to move out into the East Sea at around noon near Gangneung. So expect to see severe weather until the evening even though Typhoon Soulik may soon be downgraded to a tropical storm as it continues to lose steam.
Meanwhile, the amount of precipitation has decreased except for in the eastern regions of Gangwon-do Province. Seoul will see light showers into the evening.
Daily highs will range from 29 to 33 degrees Celsius, southwest regions will see better weather before noon. The entire nation will have calm weather by the evening.
That's all for now,...back to you Mark in the studio.
