Rain is falling across the country today (the 30th).

As localized and intense rain clouds developed, torrential rain briefly poured down at a rate of 100mm per hour in Yeonggwang.

Looking at the current radar imagery, rain clouds are covering the Chungcheong, Honam, and Gyeongnam regions.

With such intense red rain clouds positioned over the Jeonbuk region, heavy rain of around 50mm per hour is currently pouring down in Gochang.

Consequently, heavy rain advisories and warnings have been issued centering on these areas.

Looking at the expected precipitation for today.

Torrential downpours of over 200mm are expected in South Chungcheong Province, over 150mm in North Chungcheong Province, and over 100mm in southern Gyeonggi Province, southern Gangwon Province, North Gyeongsang Province, and North Jeonbuk Province.

While the rain will often experience lulls, when it does fall, it will come down very intensely accompanied by gusts, thunder, and lightning, requiring thorough preparations to prevent rain-related damage.

Heatwave warnings have been lifted in many areas, mainly centered around the central region, while heatwave warnings remain in effect for the southern provinces.

Today's daytime high in Seoul is expected to be 28°C (82°F), keeping the heat somewhat subdued.

However, areas under heatwave warnings will remain sultry, with perceived temperatures rising above 33°C (91°F).

The rain in the central region is expected to continue until Tuesday.
