"Apparent Temperature Over 33°C"... Rain Across the Country Starting Tonight

Seoul experienced a tropical night for the third consecutive day today (July 14).

It will remain sweltering during the day as well.

In regions under heat wave advisories, the apparent temperature is expected to rise above 33°C (91°F).

However, the heat will temporarily ease when the rain begins.

As rain clouds from Typhoon Bavi, which has weakened into a tropical depression, approach the Korean Peninsula, rain will start in western regions and spread to the southern provinces by tonight.

This rain will be short but intense and heavy in the central regions.

Heavy downpours of over 120mm are expected in the northern part of Gyeonggi Province, and over 100mm in the northern part of Gangwon Province. The Seoul metropolitan area, including Seoul, will also see significant rainfall of up to 100mm.

Residents should take precautions to prevent rain-related damage, as strong, heavy rain accompanied by gusts is expected in northern Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon during the early morning hours, which is a vulnerable time.

Strong winds will blow across the country, and waves will be high, particularly in coastal waters.

The rain will mostly taper off by tomorrow afternoon.

For the time being, heat waves and heavy rain will continue to alternate.
