Rain Nationwide This Weekend... Heavy Downpours in Chungcheong and Jeonbuk

As the country remains overcast today (August 28), rain is falling primarily in regions south of Chungcheong.

Some passing showers also fell in Seoul.

Tomorrow, as a low-pressure system near China's Shandong Peninsula approaches, rain will spread nationwide. With rain forecasted across the country for the remainder of August, the intense heat is expected to gradually ease.

Heavy rain is expected nationwide over the weekend.

Looking at the expected precipitation for tomorrow, up to 80 mm of rain is forecasted for South Chungcheong and Jeonbuk, while 5 to up to 60 mm is expected in other parts of the country.

While the low-pressure system will move away by the morning of the day after tomorrow (August 30) in the 수도권 and Gangwon regions, leading to a temporary lull in most areas, a narrow and long stationary front will develop where cold air pushing down behind the low-pressure system collides with warm air from the south.

As a result, heavy rain of up to 80 mm is expected in the Chungcheong and Honam regions, and people should exercise caution as rainfall intensity could pour very strongly at up to 50 mm or more per hour.

Tonight will remain humid as well.

Seoul's morning low tomorrow is forecasted at 26°C (79°F), pointing to a tropical night. Tomorrow afternoon, due to the influence of rain clouds, the heat will not be severe, with Seoul reaching a high of 30°C (86°F).

Rain will continue nationwide through the final day of August.

September begins next Tuesday.

The weather is expected to become even cooler.
