Typhoon Hinnamnor to hit Jeju Island, southern coast of S. Korea on Tuesday
Hinnamnor is moving closer to Korea.
It's classified as a "super strong typhoon" the highest in the four-tier system.
The force of nature is powerful enough to have a significant impact early next week.
Our Kim Dami is standing by on the line with the latest.
Dami do fill us in.
Daniel, South Korea is gearing up for super typhoon Hinnamnor, with the Central Disaster and Safety agency raising the country's Crisis Alert Level to one.
President Yoon Suk-yeol has also ordered the safety minister to prepare for the highest level of typhoon response.
Typhoon Hinnamnor is speeding up its course to the Korean Peninsula.
In fact, with the typhoon being just around the corner, Jeju Island is seeing heavy downpours, and a strong-wind warning has been issued for the entire region.
The island is forecast to see up to 50 millimeters of rain per hour until Monday.
Hinnamnor is then forecast to make landfall and hit the southern coast of South Korea on Tuesday morning.
The typhoon is then expected to weaken slightly, but it will remain powerful, with a maximum wind speed of 47 meters per second. That's strong enough to derail trains.
By Sunday, the entire nation will be wet with gusty winds.
The 11th typhoon this year, Hinnamnor, is considered the strongest tropical storm of the 2022 hurricane season.
Korea's state weather agency has warned that the typhoon will be stronger than Typhoon Sara in 1959, the most powerful to hit South Korea.
In the fall, typhoons are usually more potent because the strong sunlight near the equator in the North Pacific Ocean raises the sea surface temperature.
For those in the country, checking drainage and stocking up on daily necessities in case of water and power outages are highly encouraged.
This is all I have for now.
Back to you, Daniel.
