Tropical storm Lupit is approaching the East Sea near South Korea and is forecast to pour heavy rains on the country's east coast, the weather agency said Sunday.

기상청은 열대성 폭풍 루핏이 우리나라 동해 부근으로 접근하며 동해안에 많은 비가 내릴 전망이라고 일요일 말했다.



Around midnight, Lupit is predicted to land on Japan's Kyushu before presumably passing further northward between the South Korean side of the East Sea and the northern coast of Japan the next morning, the Korea Meteorological Administration said.

기상청은 태풍 루핏이 자정 무렵 일본 규슈 부근에 상륙하며 아침 사이 동해안과 일본 북해를 통과해 북진할 예정이라고 밝혔다.



As of 11 a.m., Lupit's central pressure stood at 992 hectopascals, and it is estimated to pick up further force when it hits the inland areas of Kyushu.

11시 기준 태풍 루핏의 중심기압은 992헥토파스칼로 규슈 내륙을 강타하면 세력이 더 커질 것으로 예측된다.



South Korea may not come under the direct influence of Lupit, which originated in the sea south of China's city of Shantou, but strong winds and heavy rainfall are likely to hit the country as the storm moves near the country Monday, the weather agency noted.

기상청은 한국이 중국 산터우 남쪽 해상에서 발생된 태풍 루핏의 직접적 영향을 받지 않을 수도 있지만, 월요일 한국을 통과하며 강한 돌풍과 많은 비를 동반해 한국을 강타할 것이라고 전했다.



The maximum instantaneous wind speed could go up to 20 meters per second Sunday night and a strong wind warning in some parts of Gangwon Province is highly likely later in the day.

일요일 밤 최대 순간풍속 초속 20m 이상으로 강원 일부 지역에서는 이날 오후 강풍 주의보가 내려질 것으로 예상된다.



Till Sunday night, east-coastal regions of Gangwon Province may receive heavy rains of up to 200 millimeters, the agency added.

기상청은 일요일 밤 강원 동해안 지역에 최대 200mm의 매우 많은 비가 내릴 것이라고 덧붙였다.



Downpours of up to 250 mm have also been forecast in regions near the country's Ulleung Island and Dokdo in the East Sea for early Monday morning. (Yonhap)


월요일 이른 새벽에는 동해에 위치한 울릉도와 독도 부근에 최대 250mm의 폭우가 쏟아질 예정이다.
