Heavy Rains and Showers Hit Regions; Scorching Heat Persists Despite 'Cheoseo'

Heavy rain and showers poured down in various regions today (the 22nd).

This was because strong rain clouds developed and flowed in from the edge of the North Pacific high pressure system.

Torrential downpours hit some areas, with Seocho-gu in Seoul recording over 24 mm per hour and Uljin recording over 60 mm per hour.

The rain will continue mainly in the Seoul metropolitan area and the Yeongseo region until early tomorrow morning.

The expected rainfall is around 5 to 60 mm.

Meanwhile, tomorrow is Cheoseo, the seasonal term when the heat is supposed to fade away.

However, as the influence of the North Pacific high pressure system expands a bit further, it will remain hot nationwide.

The daytime high in Seoul is expected to reach 33°C, which is about 6°C higher than today, while Yangsan will soar to around 35°C.

There is also a forecast for showers in some western regions tomorrow afternoon.

It will also stay muggy tonight.

Tomorrow's lowest temperature in Seoul is forecasted at 25°C, pointing to a tropical night, while tomorrow's daytime high will rise as high as 35°C in Changwon.

Hot weather is projected to continue next week as well, with daytime highs in Seoul hovering around 32°C. Meanwhile, the 18th typhoon currently moving northward is likely headed toward China, but since there is still some volatility, we will need to keep an eye on the situation until early next week.
