Severe Heat Continues; Heavy Rain Expected Along South Gyeongsang Coast

While central regions remained cloudy today (the 26th), southern regions enjoyed clear skies, with daytime temperatures in Miryang once again exceeding 37°C (99°F).

Despite it being late August, the intensity of the sweltering heat has not let up easily.

However, starting tomorrow, rain in the southern regions is expected to gradually ease the intense heat.

As you can see, southerly winds carrying massive amounts of moisture between Typhoon Saudelor and the North Pacific high-pressure system will flow in, bringing heavy rain to the southern coast of Gyeongsang Province tomorrow.

Let us look at the expected rainfall amounts.

South Jeolla and South Gyeongsang provinces will see 10 to 60 mm, while the southern coast of Gyeongsang Province will be lashed with over 80 mm at most. In particular, heavy showers of around 20 mm per hour are expected to concentrate during the afternoon hours.

Light rain is also expected in northern Gyeonggi Province and northern Gangwon Province until tomorrow afternoon.

The weather will remain muggy and humid.

Skies will be cloudy, and strong swells will flow into the coastal areas of the southern coast and Jeju Island.

Some areas in Chungcheong and southern provinces may also experience sudden showers.

Tropical nights will persist tonight across most regions, including Seoul, while tomorrow's daytime temperatures will climb to around 32°C (90°F) in Seoul and near 33°C (91°F) nationwide.

On Friday, the rain will expand to areas south of Chungcheong, and over the weekend, rain is forecast nationwide.

With the arrival of the rain, the intensity of the day-and-night sweltering heat is projected to gradually subside.
