On the 2nd of next month, when it was predicted that ‘Mawar’ would pass through the sea about 70 km south-west of Okinawa, it was expected to soften somewhat with a ‘middle’ force.

Based on the expected course, it was predicted that ‘Mawar’ would be closest to Korea on the afternoon of the 3rd of the following month.

As a result, the Korea Meteorological Administration indicated that there would be little impact on the Korean Peninsula, including Jeju Island.

However, the Korea Meteorological Administration predicts that there is a possibility of rain in Jeju Island on the 3rd, the weekend.

The Korea Meteorological Agency analyzed that unless there is a change, such as a sudden slowdown or expansion of the North Pacific high pressure, it is very likely to travel down Honshu, the Japanese mainland.
