Weekend Rain Nationwide; Heavy Downpours in Chungcheong and Jeonbuk

The country remains overcast today, August 28, with rain concentrated mostly in regions south of Chungcheong Province.

Seoul also experienced temporary showers.

Tomorrow, as a low-pressure system near the Shandong Peninsula of China approaches, rain will fall nationwide. With rain continuing across the country through the remainder of August, the intense heat is expected to gradually ease.

Heavy rain is forecast across the nation over the weekend.

Looking at the expected precipitation for tomorrow, up to 80 mm of rain is forecast for South Chungcheong and Jeonbuk provinces, while 5 to up to 60 mm is expected in other parts of the country.

In the greater Seoul area and Gangwon Province, the rain will largely subside by the morning of the day after tomorrow as the low-pressure system moves away. However, a narrow and long stationary front will develop where the cold air descending behind the low-pressure system collides with warm air from the south.

Consequently, heavy rain of up to 80 mm is expected in the Chungcheong and Honam regions, and caution is advised as downpours could be extremely intense, reaching over 50 mm per hour.

The weather will remain humid tonight as well.

Seoul's morning low tomorrow is forecast at 26°C (79°F), pointing to a tropical night. Tomorrow afternoon, under the influence of rain clouds, the heat will be somewhat tempered, with Seoul reaching a high of 30°C (86°F).

Rain is expected to continue nationwide through the final day of August.

September begins next Tuesday.

The weather is expected to turn noticeably cooler.
