Heat Wave Advisories Expand to Chungcheong and Southern Regions; Rain Forecast for East Coast and Jeju

As hot and humid air flows in under the influence of a low-pressure system approaching from the East Sea, heat wave advisories have expanded from the metropolitan area to various parts of the Chungcheong and southern regions.

Today, the daytime high in Seoul is expected to reach 33°C (91°F), while Gwangyang will climb to 35°C (95°F).

The heat will take a brief respite during the Liberation Day holiday weekend as skies remain cloudy with occasional rain.

Light rain is currently falling along the East Coast.

The East Coast and Jeju regions will see between 5 mm and 50 mm of rainfall through tomorrow.

Meanwhile, areas in the inland Chungcheong and southern regions that miss out on the rain may experience sudden, heavy showers.

Rain is set to begin nationwide on Sunday and continue in various areas through Monday, the final day of the holiday.
