Sweltering Heat Returns... Spotty, Disruptive Showers Expected

As the rain clouds have retreated, scorching heat has returned.

Heat advisories have been issued for parts of the Seoul metropolitan area, including some parts of Seoul, Gangwon Province, South Chungcheong Province, the Honam region, North Gyeongsang Province, and Jeju Island.

Today (August 18), the daytime sensible temperature in Seoul is expected to reach 33°C (91°F), about 4 degrees higher than yesterday's sensible temperature.

Meanwhile, the rain clouds that brought heavy and intense downpours to the Yeongnam region are now moving northeast, with light rain currently falling only in parts of North Gyeongsang Province and Jeju Island.

The rain today is expected to drop an additional 5 to 40 mm in Jeju Island until tonight.

Due to atmospheric instability, disruptive and sudden showers are expected to pour down in various places from this afternoon into tonight, so you should definitely bring a small umbrella with you.

When it is not raining, the skies will be mostly cloudy.

Gusty winds, thunder, and lightning are expected mainly across coastal and marine areas.

Rain is forecasted tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, mainly centering around the Chungcheong and southern regions.
