Looking at the current radar imagery, rain clouds are passing through the central regions, bringing heavy downpours of 10 to 20mm per hour accompanied by thunder and lightning.

In particular, heavy rain is expected to concentrate on the Seoul metropolitan area and the northern coast of South Chungcheong Province during the morning commute.

By tomorrow, July 9, the expected rainfall is 80mm to over 200mm in the Chungcheong and North Jeolla provinces, and 50mm to over 150mm in the Seoul metropolitan area, inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon Province, and the central and northern parts of North Gyeongsang Province. Please take precautions to prevent any damage.

Strong winds are also expected in the central regions, the Honam region, and Jeju Island until this afternoon.

Current temperatures are hovering around 25°C (77°F) in most areas, with some regions experiencing tropical nights.

As rain falls today, daytime temperatures will remain below 30°C (86°F) in most areas, but it will feel muggy due to high humidity. In the Yeongnam region, where a heatwave advisory is in effect, temperatures in Daegu are expected to rise to 32°C (90°F).

On Friday, light rain is expected, mainly in the Seoul metropolitan area and western Gangwon Province.

Afterward, the stationary front will move north toward North Korea, and the entire country will face intense heat over the weekend.
