Typhoon No. 24 Krovvan to Turn West After Moving North; Jeju May See a Strong Wind Advisory Early on the 4th

As of 03:00 on September 3, Typhoon No. 24 Krovvan was moving northwest over waters southeast of Okinawa, Japan. The Korea Meteorological Administration forecast that the typhoon would move north toward the Okinawa area on the 4th, then turn west and later move south. A preliminary advisory indicates that Jeju could receive a strong wind advisory between midnight and 06:00 on the 4th. Although a direct hit on Jeju is unlikely, strong winds and high waves remain possible, so the latest advisories should be checked.

Key Change

The projected track of Typhoon No. 24 Krovvan now shows the system moving north, then west, and later south. In its announcement issued at 04:00 on September 3, 2026, the Korea Meteorological Administration said that Krovvan was moving northwest over waters southeast of Okinawa, Japan, as of 03:00 on the 3rd.

Current Status

According to the KMA forecast, Krovvan is expected to move north toward the Okinawa area on the 4th, then turn west and later move south. However, typhoon forecasts and weather advisories can change quickly, so the latest announcement available at the time of publication should be checked again.

The key point in this outlook is not a direct hit on Jeju, but the potential effects of wind and waves around Jeju after the typhoon changes direction.

Impact

The current projected track indicates that Krovvan is unlikely to pass directly over Jeju. However, strong winds around the typhoon and high waves remain possible.

The KMA issued a preliminary advisory indicating that a strong wind advisory could be issued for Jeju Island, excluding southern Seogwipo, between 00:00 and 06:00 on the 4th. A preliminary advisory does not mean that an advisory is already in effect; it indicates the possibility of a future advisory.

The KMA’s current advisory status also includes preliminary high wave advisories for the open waters around Jeju and the open waters of the eastern South Sea.

The National Disaster and Safety Portal advises people to avoid coastal activities and work on rooftops during strong winds or high waves.
