Typhoon Goni is a powerful typhoon now with winds of 220 km/h. It has passed the eastern coast of Taiwan and is now barreling through the East China Sea. Our prediction is it is going to hit south eastern part of South Korea tomorrow evening, Tuesday, August, 2015.
Other forecast agencies like the JTWC forecast that typhoon Goni will move right between Japan and South Korea. We think it is going to take a slightly westerly path through Korea.
The most affected provinces of South Korea will be South Jeolia, South Gyoengsong, and North Gyoengsong. The tropical cyclone will then move into the Sea of Japan and curve and enter North Korea in North Hamgyong province and then into China on August 26.
It will weaken considerably before landfall into North Korea and China but South Korea will face powerful winds in excess of 140 kmh.
Tropical cyclone Goni is going to weaken in the next 24 hours. Presently it is a category 4 hurricane. By the time it makes landfall into South Korea it will weaken into a category 1 storm. By the time it enters North Korea and China it will be a tropical depression. Weaker winds but lots and lots of rainfall.
The province of Jilin will be most affected. The cyclone will still be a powerful one when it enters China with winds of 80 km/h. So North Korea and China are in for strong winds and heavy rainfall on late Wednesday.
