The 15th typhoon of the year is expected to reach 300 kilometers off the east of Jeju Island at around 9 a.m. Tuesday. The advisories will be expanded to Busan, Ulsan, Daegu, and some parts of Gangwon and North and South Gyeongsang provinces, and the East Sea by Tuesday evening. "Goni will be this year's first typhoon to directly affect inland parts of the country," a ministry official said. "It is forecast to bring strong winds and heavy rain, so people living in regions easily affected by floods or landslides are advised to take extra caution." [link to www.koreatimes.co.kr (secure)] |
