Temperatures Return to Average After Autumn Rain Ceases... Rain Continues in Southern Regions Until Morning

The gusty and turbulent autumn rain across the country is expected to subside on the 19th, with temperatures dropping to normal seasonal levels.

Heavy rain is expected to continue in some areas of the southern regions and Jeju Island until the morning.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 18th, the rain currently falling across most parts of the country will continue until tonight, gradually stopping from the central regions.

In the southern regions, heavy rain accompanied by strong winds, thunder, and lightning is expected to continue in some areas until the morning of Monday the 19th, and until the afternoon on Jeju Island.

Expected precipitation for the 18th is projected to be 10 to 60 mm for southern Gyeonggi Province; 5 to 20 mm for Seoul, Incheon, northern Gyeonggi Province, and the east coast of Gangwon Province; 10 to 50 mm for inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon Province; and 20 to 60 mm for Daejeon, Sejong, South Chungcheong Province, and North Chungcheong Province.

The expected two-day precipitation for regions where rain continues until the 19th is 30 to 80 mm for Gwangju, South Jeolla Province, North Jeolla Province, and mountainous areas of Jeju Island; 10 to 60 mm for Daegu, North Gyeongsang Province, Busan, Ulsan, South Gyeongsang Province, and Jeju Island; and 5 to 40 mm for Ulleungdo and Dokdo.

Among these areas, Jeju Island will experience heavy rain of 20 to 30 mm per hour from the early hours to the morning of the 19th.

In areas experiencing rain, fallen leaves may hinder proper drainage, leading to potential low-lying flooding or backflow from sewage systems, so caution is advised for safety accidents.

Temperatures until the morning of the 19th will be higher than average (lows of 5 to 14°C, highs of 19 to 23°C), but as the rain stops, temperatures from the afternoon onward will return to seasonal averages.

The morning low for the 19th is forecasted to be 7 to 20°C, and the daytime high is forecasted to be 19 to 25°C.
