Heat Wave Advisories in the South, Rain in the Central Region Through Tomorrow

As of today, August 31st, the final day of August, rain is falling mainly in the central region.

The long, east-west developing rain clouds that affected the southern region over the weekend are lingering over the central region today, bringing intermittent rain throughout the day.

As these rain clouds gradually weaken, most of the rain is expected to stop in the southern region tonight and in the central region by tomorrow morning.

Through tomorrow, heavy rain of more than 100mm is expected in the western coastal areas of South Chungcheong Province, while other central areas including the capital region will see an additional 10mm to up to 60mm of rain.

Meanwhile, while the central region remained relatively cool all day due to the rain clouds, the southern region experienced sweltering weather with temperatures hovering around 33°C (91°F).

With heat wave advisories still in effect mainly in the southern region, hot and humid weather will continue tomorrow as the area remains under the edge of the North Pacific high-pressure system.

Accordingly, the southern region will be mostly cloudy tomorrow with occasional showers in the afternoon, while the central region will remain overcast throughout the day.

Tomorrow's daytime high in Seoul is expected to cap at 27°C (81°F), keeping the heat at bay, whereas temperatures in the southern region will rise to 33°C (91°F) in Daegu and Gwangju.

This week, as cold and dry air gradually descends from the north, the weather will become progressively cooler towards the latter half of the week.

In the latter half of the week, rain is forecasted for Gangwon Yeongdong and Jeju Island due to the influence of easterly winds.
