Typhoon Chami, the 30th typhoon of the season, is moving through the waters south of Jeju towards Kyushu, Japan. It is expected to transition into an extratropical cyclone near Kagoshima on the morning of October 26.
According to a report from the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) issued at 4 PM on October 25, Chami was located at 30.1 degrees north latitude and 125.4 degrees east longitude, moving northeast at a speed of 21 km/h as of 3 PM.
The central pressure is 992 hPa, with maximum wind speeds near the center reaching 23 m/s (83 km/h). The storm is classified as a level 1 typhoon, with a radius of strong winds extending 270 km.
Chami is projected to reach the waters approximately 250 km southeast of Seogwipo around 3 AM on October 26. At that time, the central pressure is expected to be 994 hPa, with maximum wind speeds of 21 m/s (76 km/h) and a radius of strong winds of 240 km. Its speed will increase to 24 km/h.
Afterward, it will continue moving northeast and is forecasted to transition into an extratropical cyclone about 150 km west of Kagoshima at 9 AM on October 26.
When it becomes an extratropical cyclone, the central pressure is expected to be 996 hPa, with maximum wind speeds of 20 m/s (72 km/h).
While Chami is gradually weakening during its movement, the risk of strong winds and high waves will not immediately dissipate once it transitions into an extratropical cyclone.
The KMA urges the public to stay updated on future typhoon information and weather advisories.
