Heavy Rains Batter Regions Due to Stationary Front; Caution Urged for Nocturnal Downpours

A stationary front has formed as cold air from the north meets warm air from the south.

Influenced by this system, monsoon rain fell across various parts of the country today (August 30).

In particular, as rain clouds developed intensely over narrow areas, torrential rain reaching around 100 mm per hour temporarily poured in Yeonggwang, Jeollanam-do.

The rain will continue until tomorrow, with rain in the central regions persisting until the day after tomorrow.

Looking at the expected precipitation over the next two days, torrential rains of over 250 mm are expected in the western coast of Chungnam, and over 200 mm in the Chungcheong region. Heavy rain of over 150 mm is forecast for the southern part of Gyeonggi Province, and over 120 mm for the central-southern inland of Gangwon Province and northwestern Jeonbuk.

Especially since this rain will intensify during the night, thorough preparations must be made for nocturnal downpours.

The sweltering heat will continue as warm and humid air flows in from the south.

Tomorrow, sensible temperatures will rise above 33°C (91°F) mainly in areas where heatwave warnings are in effect, while the heat will ease slightly in Seoul.

Let us take a look at tomorrow morning's temperatures.

Seoul will start with a morning low of 23°C (73°F), and Daegu at 25°C (77°F).

Tropical nights will occur in some areas, centered around the southern coast and Jeju Island.

Looking at daytime temperatures, Seoul will rise to 26°C (79°F), Daegu to 32°C (90°F), and Ulsan to 34°C (93°F).

As cold air flows in behind the rain clouds, the heat in the central regions will subside, whereas sweltering weather will continue in the southern regions.
