Typhoon Jongdari Expected Path and Impact
- Current Location: Approximately 360km southwest of Okinawa, Japan
- Expected Path: It is expected to move northwest, pass through the southern sea of Jeju Island, and move north along the west coast, weakening into a tropical depression.
- Expected Impact: Heavy rain and strong winds are expected, mainly in Jeju Island and the south coast. High waves are expected at sea.
Typhoon Jongdari
It is expected to directly affect Korea from the night of the 20th. Typhoon Jongdari is not a strong typhoon, so major damage is not expected, but Jeju Island and the south coast region need to be careful due to heavy rain and strong winds.
In the central region, including Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, it will rain, but the power will weaken, so there will be no major damage, but you should prepare for the rain and enjoy your trip to Korea.
Even after Typhoon Jongdari passes, the heat will continue for a while, but it is expected to subside from the 22nd. It seems that this very hot summer is passing like this.
