There are many people who worry about typhoons along with the heat wave. Let’s look at the satellite image. Typhoon No. 6 ‘Kanun’ is a very strong typhoon with strong winds of 180 km/h from the center. A strong wind is already blowing in Okinawa, Japan, which has a radius of over 400 km and is visited by many Koreans during the vacation season. The typhoon, which is moving at the speed of a bicycle, is expected to turn 180 degrees again this Friday and head for the Japanese mainland by the weekend. However, this is the current forecast and there is a possibility that a typhoon will come to Korea.
