South Korea raised its storm alert level on Wednesday as a powerful typhoon, expected to be stronger than the one that hit the nation last week, sped toward the southern coastline.
Strong winds and heavy rain is expected for the entire Korean peninsula with downpours measuring more than 400-millimeters falling on Jeju Island and the eastern coastal regions of Gyeongsang and Gangwon provinces, according to South Korea’s Meteorological Administration.
