Affected by Typhoon Chan-hom, which has degenerated into a low-pressure system, heat wave advisories have been expanded to various parts of the Chungcheong and southern regions.

Seoul's perceived temperature is expected to climb to 34°C (93°F) today (the 14th), while Uiryeong will reach up to 35°C (95°F).

Rainfall of 5 to 10 mm is expected to continue until the afternoon in the eastern coastal areas of Gangwon Province and until the night in the mountainous areas of Jeju Island before stopping.

Scattered and intense showers are expected to pour down in various parts of the country today.

You should make sure to carry a small umbrella so you are not caught off guard.

Rain is forecast nationwide throughout the Liberation Day long weekend.

Centered around the central regions, anywhere from a minimum of 5 mm to a maximum of 60 mm of rain is anticipated.

Mainly in the southern regions suffering from severe drought, 30 to 80 mm of rain is forecast for North Gyeongsang, Jeolla, and Jeju regions, 50 to a maximum of 100 mm for South Gyeongsang Province, and over 120 mm of torrential rain is expected around the southern coast.

Particularly as strong and heavy rain is concentrated in the southern regions and Jeju, thorough preparations must be made to prevent rain damage.

The heat will briefly subside while it rains.
