Monsoon rain will return to the entire country between today and tomorrow.

Currently, only light rain is falling in some areas.

The main precipitation will begin in western regions this morning and expand to the rest of the country by this afternoon. The rain will continue to fluctuate in intensity until tomorrow afternoon.

By tomorrow, heavy rain of over 100mm is expected in northern Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon provinces. Seoul and other central regions, as well as North Jeolla Province, are also expected to see significant rainfall ranging from 30mm to a maximum of around 100mm.

Southern regions and Jeju Island will see around 5mm to 60mm of rain.

As you can see, this rain is expected to be particularly intense overnight, which is a vulnerable time, especially in central regions and North Jeolla Province, so please take precautions to prevent damage.

Today, strong winds with instantaneous speeds of around 15 to 25 meters per second are expected along the coast and across the rest of the country.

Current temperatures are exceeding 25°C (77°F) in most areas, and many regions will likely experience tropical nights again today.

Heat wave warnings remain in effect nationwide. While temperatures may drop temporarily as the rain falls, it will become hot and humid again once the rain stops as temperatures rise.

For today's daytime temperatures, Seoul and Daejeon will reach 32°C (90°F), while Daegu, where the rain will arrive later, will soar to 36°C (97°F).

Looking ahead, there is another forecast for rain in the southern regions toward the end of the week, and nationwide on Sunday.
