During the early morning hours, Damyang in South Jeolla Province also experienced heavy rainfall nearing 100mm.

Currently, strong rain clouds are passing through the Chungcheong and southern regions, with some areas experiencing extreme rainfall of 30 to 80mm per hour.

As such, heavy rain is expected to remain concentrated in these areas until this morning.

Consequently, heavy rain warnings have been issued for parts of the Chungcheong and Honam regions, while heavy rain advisories are in effect for southern Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Province, and northern North Gyeongsang Province.

Today, up to 200mm or more of heavy rain is forecast for the Chungcheong and Honam regions, over 150mm for inland Gangwon Province, and up to 100mm for the Seoul metropolitan area and the North Gyeongsang region.

Meanwhile, tropical night advisories are in effect for Gyeongsan, Chilgok, and Uiseong in North Gyeongsang Province.

Currently, temperatures in most regions are hovering around 25°C (77°F), and due to high humidity, the perceived temperature will be 1 to 3 degrees higher.

During the day, Seoul will reach 27°C (81°F), while Daegu, where a heatwave advisory is in effect, will see temperatures rise to 33°C (91°F).

The rain will mostly cease overnight, though it will continue in the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Province until tomorrow morning.
