I think if anything we'll get the rements of it.

Usually once it goes over land it breaks up. But Japan isn't that large of a land mass and neither is Florida. There have been times when a typhoon (or hurricane) goes over a mass of land and then picks up steam again.

Up here in Seoul I would say it's highly unlikely we'd see anything but a little bit of rain. There's always a chance Gangwon-do could get hit again though.

Aaaah! It's comming for me!

Oh well, considering I didn't have to endure flooding and whatnot like I hear happened around Seoul, I suppose I deserve some rain from the remenants of a typhoon..

I cant see it hitting Korea , I could be wrong though.

If anything as previously mentioned we could get the reminants of it in N. Gyeongsang or around 부산

This is the Korean prediction of how it will move according to www.weather.go.kr:



BTW, there is another one called Saomai that is vaguely coming this way, too:

interesting that the www.weather.go.kr prediction is very different from the weather underground one. wonder who is right and what could account for the discrepancy...

Hey, Maria -- you're welcome to stay at my place if you can cool things down for about a week... and maybe cook a little light vegetarian. Nothing too fancy.

Anyway, think it over and shoot me a PM.

If the updated map above is correct then the southern peninsula should get something. I would appreciate some rain to cool off a bit. It's miserably hot here in Daegu.

I hope Japan doesn't get it too rough. The rain would be a nice change though.
