Typhoon Halola is not likely to have a big impact on South Korea as it has eased some strength and changed its direction a little more eastward, the state weather agency said Sunday.
As of 3 p.m. the typhoon was marching northeastwards from the ocean about 290 kilometers southeast of the country's southernmost Jeju Island at a speed of 19 kilometers per hour, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA).
The KMA said Saturday that the Korean Peninsula is likely to come under the direct influence of the typhoon this weekend with heavy rain and wind.
But as it has moved a little more eastward and lost some strength, the typhoon is expected to pass on waters north of Japan's major southern island of Kyushu at dawn on Monday.
"There will be no direct influence by the typhoon on the Korean Peninsula," said an official at the agency.
It will likely rain in South Korea's southern port city of Busan and some coastal areas of the southeastern province, it added. (Yonhap)
