Typhoon Prapiroon to affect Korea's southern coastal regions _ 070218
- 6 years ago
So... the seventh typhoon of the season, (pra-pee-roon) Prapiroon, meaning 'God of Rain' in Thailand is bringing rain and strong winds to Korea's southern coastal regions and southeastern regions.
For more on the typhoon and the weather updates for the rest of the day, let's connect to Lee Jee-hyun at the weather center. Jee-hyun give us details.
Good morning, Mark. Severe Tropical Storm Prapiroon is forecast to move in an easterly direction, so inland regions will not be directly affected by the typhoon but Busan, Jeju Island and southern coastal regions will endure tropical-storm-force winds and torrential rainfall from Monday night into Tuesday.
Concern is on the rise as we've been seeing heavy monsoon showers across the nation AND moisture from Prapiroon is only going to trigger heavier showers.
Eighty to 150 millimeters of rain will soak the nation until Tuesday, authorities have warned to be careful of flooding and landslides
Upper regions will see rising temperatures, kicking off at 21 degrees Celsius in Seoul and Daejeon.
As for the highs, Seoul will see a high of 26 degrees.. four degrees higher than yesterday, 25 degrees in Chuncheon,... while most cities will see highs in the upper twenties. We need to be alert and aware of storm dangers for the next couple of days.
That's all for me at this hour, I will have more updates on our later newscast.
