Heavy Rain to Continue in Capital Area and Gangwon Until Morning; Up to 200mm Expected

Heavy rain is expected to continue, primarily in the Seoul metropolitan area and inland Gangwon province, until this morning (July 10).

Up to 200mm or more of rain is forecast for Gyeonggi province and the central-northern inland areas of Gangwon, while up to 80mm is expected in Seoul and other parts of the capital region and Gangwon province.

In particular, intense downpours of up to 50mm per hour are possible in Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon until the early hours of the morning.

The rain will mostly taper off by the morning.

In the afternoon, some central regions and North Jeolla province may experience scattered showers.

A heat wave advisory is currently in effect for the Yeongnam region. As temperatures rise from this afternoon, these advisories are likely to expand to other areas.

Looking at daytime temperatures, Seoul will reach 29°C (84°F) and Daegu will climb to 33°C (91°F).

High humidity will make it feel muggy and uncomfortable.

There is also a possibility of a tropical night in Seoul tonight.

For the time being, as the rain enters a lull, sweltering heat will persist both day and night.
