Olga to Penetrate Korean Peninsula Tuesday

As the approaching hurricane 'Olga' heads north, it is expected to penetrate right to the heart of the Korean peninsula Tuesday, causing more storm damage across the country.
Meteorologists warned on Monday that, 'At the moment, Olga is hanging around 600 kilometers off the south of Cheju island, and is expected to move to the continent Tuesday afternoon.'
The typhoon is then expected to reach North Korea on Tuesday night, after passing over Seoul during the day.
Therefore, August 3 is predicted to be the biggest day of rain so far all around the country with storms and torrential rain.
Currently Olga is traveling at 30 meters per second and covers a range of 240 kilometers, guaranteeing more massive losses and calamities.
The tempest will soon overlap with nimbus cloud, ensuring a further immense amount of rain precipitation, meteorologists added.
