Three typhoons are heading across the Pacific Ocean toward the Korean Peninsula, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), Tuesday.
Typhoon Noru is moving northwestward at 13 km/h from 1,600 kilometers southeast of Japan. Typhoon Kulap is moving westward at 25 km/h following Noru. Typhoon Sonca is off Vietnam, moving northward at 17 km/h.
It is rare for three typhoons to head toward the peninsula at the same time, say KMA meteorologists. It is uncertain how close they will come to Korea because their direction and intensity are changeable.
Weather experts say the typhoons are highly likely to downgrade into tropical storms before reaching the peninsula.
