This is the current radar imagery.

Intense downpours of around 44mm per hour are pounding the Gangneung area, which appears in red on the screen.

Heavy rain advisories are currently in effect along the Gangwon Yeongdong region and the northern east coast of Gyeongsangbuk-do.

These strong rain clouds have formed because easterly winds are flowing in under the influence of Typhoon Dolphin, which is passing waters west of Okinawa.

Heavy rain is expected in the Gangwon east coast areas where the easterly winds converge strongly, and Jeju will experience very strong winds and rough waves due to the indirect effects of the typhoon.

Until the day after tomorrow, heavy rain of over 150mm at maximum is expected in the Gangwon east coast region, and over 120mm at maximum in the northern east coast region of Gyeongsangbuk-do.

Rainfall of up to 70mm will continue in the mountainous areas of Jeju.

Also, until tonight, sudden localized showers of 5 to 40mm may pass through various inland areas.

Although the extreme level of heat has subsided, sweltering heat of around 35°C will continue today as well.

Daytime temperatures will rise to 36°C in Seoul and 37°C in Changwon.

Winds will blow somewhat strongly nationwide until tomorrow.

Stifling heat reaching heat wave advisory levels is expected to persist into next week as well.

That was the weather from the weather center.
