‘Khanun’ will reach in the sea around 100km southwest of Okinawa, Japan at 3:00 am on the 2nd of next month with the central atmospheric pressure 940 hPa (hectopascal), maximum wind speed of 47 m/s per second, 169 km/h per hour, and 'very strong' wind forces are expected to sweep through Okinawa, Japan.

However, it is important to know that the typhoon effects may slightly change depending on the position of
nearby barometric pressure, causing potential fluctuations in its impact on South Korea.
South Korea’s Meteorological Administration said, “the course of the typhoon may change somewhat depending on the position of the nearby barometer, so the domestic impact is flexible. We are watching the direct and indirect effects of the typhoon closely.”
The authorities are vigilantly monitoring the direct and indirect effects of ‘Khanun’ typhoon.
