Heat wave advisories have been expanded to parts of Chungcheong and southern regions due to the influence of Typhoon Chan-hom, which has weakened into a low-pressure system.

Today (August 14), the perceived daytime temperature is expected to rise to 34°C (93°F) in Seoul and 35°C (95°F) in Uiryeong.

Meanwhile, the perceived temperature in Gangneung, which is under the influence of northeasterly winds, will hover around 30°C (86°F).

Rainfall of 5 to 10 millimeters is expected to stop by this afternoon in the Gangwon east coast region and by tonight in the mountainous areas of Jeju.

Showers are forecasted in various parts of the country today.

The expected precipitation ranges from a minimum of 5 millimeters to a maximum of 40 millimeters.

When showers occur, they may pour heavily, accompanied by gusty winds, thunder, and lightning.

You should definitely bring a small umbrella just in case.

Rain is forecasted nationwide during the Liberation Day holiday period.

The rain will begin in the southern regions tomorrow afternoon and expand nationwide the following day.

The expected precipitation is 5 to 60 millimeters for the central regions. Focusing on the southern and Jeju regions experiencing severe drought, 30 to 80 millimeters are expected in Gyeongbuk, Honam, and Jeju, 50 to up to 100 millimeters in Gyeongnam, and heavy downpours of over 120 millimeters in the southern coast and mountainous areas of Jeju.

As heavy and intense rain is forecasted for the southern and Jeju regions, thorough preparations should be made to prevent rain damage.

The intense heat will ease temporarily while the rain falls.
