Soulik and Cimaron strengthen as they bear down on Japan and South Korea.
Japan and South Korea are bracing for two typhoons which are expected later this week.
The two storms, the 20th and 21st named storms of the West Pacific typhoon season, are still strengthening as they head north.
Typhoon Soulik is expected to hit the Korean Peninsula late on Wednesday after skirting around Japan’ s southern mainland island of Kyushu.
When it makes landfall, it is forecast to have winds gusting up to 200 kilometres per hour. Torrential rain is likely to cause flooding and a storm surge threatens to trigger coastal flooding.
Soulik will then begin to disintegrate as it heads across North Korea which lacks the resources to cope with severe weather.
