[Anchor] Another round of heavy rain is expected, mainly in the central region, overnight.

The monsoon front will be positioned over the Chungcheong, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongbuk regions, and as a mesoscale low-pressure system develops once again, the rain clouds are expected to intensify.

In these areas, heavy downpours of 20mm to 50mm per hour are expected between dawn and morning tomorrow (July 19), so please take extra precautions to prevent any additional damage.

Let us check the amount of rainfall recorded from yesterday until this evening.

Paju saw the heaviest rainfall with 197mm, and Seoul's Eunpyeong-gu also received very heavy rain, nearing 160mm.

Through tomorrow, heavy rain of 120mm to a maximum of over 150mm will be concentrated in the southern Gangwon, Chungcheong, Jeonbuk, and Gyeongbuk regions, while Seoul is expected to receive an additional 5mm to 20mm of rain.
