The intense rainfall that pounded the central regions overnight has weakened somewhat.

Currently, light rain of around 1mm per hour is falling in parts of the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Province, North Jeolla Province, and North Gyeongsang Province.

Let us take a look at the amount of rainfall recorded from yesterday (July 14) until now.

Gangbuk-gu in Seoul saw heavy downpours exceeding 130mm, and at one point, Seoul experienced intense rain at a rate of around 25mm per hour.

Rain will continue to fall on and off until this afternoon.

The expected precipitation ranges from a minimum of 5mm to a maximum of 40mm.

It will become sweltering again once the rain stops.

While it felt briefly cool when the rain was falling, the high humidity in the air after the rain clouds pass will make it feel even more sultry.

Heatwave advisories are likely to expand further, and the perceived temperature is expected to rise above 31°C (88°F) today.

A strong wind advisory is in effect, mainly for the east coast.

In these areas, very strong winds are expected to blow until this afternoon.

Later this week, a stationary front will move northward again, bringing rain to regions south of Chungcheong Province, and monsoon rain is expected across the country on Sunday.
