'가을장마' 이어 태풍 '링링' 주말 한반도 상륙
Have an umbrella handy this week because Korea is in for an autumn monsoon.
On top of that, it's highly likely that typhoon Lingling will hit this weekend.
Eum Jiyoung has more.
Heavy rain alerts have been issued for Jeju Island and the provinces of Jeollanam-do and Gyeongsangnam-do.
The southern parts of the country are already getting drenched, and by this evening the rain will spread to the central western regions.
Seoul, the surrounding province and Gangwon-do will get up to 300 millimeters by Thursday.
Meanwhile, the 13th typhoon of the season, Lingling, is likely to reach Korea by the weekend.
If it stays on course, the entire nation will be under its influence.
Right now it's a few hundred kilometers southeast of Taiwan.
Forecasters expect the storm could cause serious damage if it hits Korea, so people are advised to make thorough preparations.
