Monsoon rain continues to fall across the country today.

Currently, rain clouds associated with a stationary front are moving northeast, bringing rain to parts of the Seoul metropolitan area, Gangwon Province, and South Chungcheong Province.

While most of the rain is light, strong rain clouds have developed over some northern parts of Gyeonggi Province, with Paju experiencing downpours exceeding 40mm per hour.

Consequently, heavy rain advisories have been issued for parts of Incheon, northern Gyeonggi, and northern Gangwon.

Today, we expect up to 60 to 80mm of rain in various areas. In the central regions, there will be periods of intense rain, with 20 to 50mm falling per hour until this afternoon.

In the southern regions, the rain will often subside, and the rain in the Seoul metropolitan area is also expected to ease by tonight.

Tropical night advisories have been further expanded, primarily across regions south of Chungcheong, where tropical nights were observed today.

Today, sweltering heat is expected, mainly in the southern regions. The daytime sensible temperature in Pohang is forecast to reach 37°C (99°F), while Seoul's daytime temperature will remain at 28°C (82°F), avoiding extreme heat.

The monsoon rain is expected to continue on and off through the latter part of the week.
