Typhoon Nepartak To Strike South Korea On Sunday
|It looks like it will be a wet weekend in South Korea:
Korea will be under the influence of powerful typhoon Nepartak from Sunday, said the state weather agency on Thursday.
“The super typhoon is forecast to influence all parts of Korea while passing the west coast of the peninsula,” the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) said Thursday.
Nepartak, which was 510 kilometers southeast of Taipei as of 9 a.m. Thursday, is moving west-northwest and expected to strike Shanghai on Saturday.
The typhoon will then keep advancing north, reaching the Korean Peninsula at the weekend.
“We forecast that heavy rain will start in Korea under the influence of Nepartak on Sunday,” the agency said. “But there is a possibility that the typhoon could be downgraded to a tropical storm when it hits China.” [Korea Times]
