Monsoon rain will continue across the country today.

In particular, strong and heavy rain is expected, mainly in the central regions.

Currently, heavy rain of 10 to 20mm per hour is falling in the northern part of South Chungcheong Province, while other areas are seeing light rain or sprinkles of around 5mm per hour.

The precipitation will gradually expand to other regions.

The expected rainfall for today is 20 to a maximum of 80mm in the central regions, 20 to 60mm in the central and northern parts of North Gyeongsang Province, and 5 to 40mm in the southern regions.

You should be particularly cautious as heavy rain of 20 to 30mm per hour is expected to concentrate in the Seoul metropolitan area and Chungcheong region during the morning, and in the Gyeongsang region in the late afternoon.

Currently, tropical night and heat wave advisories are in effect, mainly for the southern regions.

In the southern regions, the rain will often be in a lull today, causing temperatures to rise and making it sweltering with a perceived temperature of around 33 to 35°C (91 to 95°F).

Current temperatures start at 24.3°C (76°F) in Seoul and 27.4°C (81°F) in Jeju.

Midday highs will reach 33°C (91°F) in Daegu and Gwangju, while Seoul will see 28°C (82°F).

Rain will fall frequently for the time being as the stationary front moves up and down. Heavy rain of over 100mm is also forecast for the central regions between dawn and morning tomorrow, so preparations are necessary.
