Rain in Central and Northern Regions Today... Sweltering Heat Continues

The intense heat continues to rage at the tail end of summer.

Today (the 26th), southern regions will be clear under the influence of a high-pressure system.

However, the central and northern regions will be cloudy with rain.

The rain is expected to fall from morning to evening, with some areas in the northeastern part of Gyeonggi Province and northern Gangwon Province receiving heavy downpours ranging from 5 mm up to 60 mm.

Other parts of the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Province can expect between 5 mm and 30 mm of rain.

Due to the forecasted rain, heat wave warnings for the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Province have been lifted or eased, but heat wave warnings remain in effect for many areas, primarily in the southern regions.

Tropical nights will continue overnight, centering around urban centers and coastal areas, while daytime highs today will rise to 31°C (88°F) in Seoul, and 36°C (97°F) in Daegu and Ulsan.

Still, the heat in the southern regions is expected to gradually subside as rain falls later in the week.

Rain will begin on the southern coast and Jeju Island on Thursday, expand to regions south of Chungcheong Province on Friday, and spread nationwide over the weekend.

Next week, after the rain stops, mornings and evenings are expected to become much cooler.
