Heavy Rain Overnight, Strong Winds and Intense Rainfall Expected in Central and Honam Regions

Rain has helped ease the heatwave, particularly in western regions.

The monsoon rain is expected to continue until tomorrow, July 15, and caution is advised regarding heavy rainfall expected overnight tonight.

The rain clouds currently bringing precipitation are associated with a low-pressure vortex visible to the west.

Carrying a large amount of water vapor, these clouds will interact with dry air of a different nature from the north overnight, developing into intense rain clouds centered over the central and Honam regions.

As a result, very heavy rain of 20 to 50 mm per hour is expected in the central and Honam regions overnight, accompanied by strong winds.

Please ensure thorough preparations are made.

Regarding the expected rainfall, up to 120 mm or more is forecast for northern Gyeonggi Province, over 100 mm for northern Gangwon Province, up to 100 mm for Seoul and other parts of the capital area, and 80 mm for other central and Honam regions.

This rain will mostly cease by tomorrow afternoon, but strong winds will continue across most parts of the country until the morning.

Looking at temperatures, tropical nights will persist overnight as the minimum temperature in most regions will remain above 25°C (77°F).

However, tomorrow's daytime high in Seoul will be 29°C (84°F), marking a temporary break in the heatwave, while the Yeongnam region, which will see less rain, will reach around 35°C (95°F).

Starting Thursday, the stationary front in the south will reactivate, bringing rain to areas south of Chungcheong, and there is a forecast for rain nationwide on Sunday.
