Rain and Strong Winds in Southern Regions Until Tomorrow; Temperatures to Plummet After Rain Stops

[Anchor]

Let's connect with the weathercaster to check the current rain conditions and the weather forecast for this week.

Ahn Su-jin, it looks like the rain has stopped in Seoul, but are there still regions experiencing heavy downpours?

[Weathercaster]

I am currently in Sinchon.

During the day, strong wind and rain powerful enough to make people stagger lashed the area, and Gangbuk-gu in Seoul saw intense rain pouring at a rate of 53 mm per hour, but the rain has now subsided.

Let's take a look at the radar imagery.

As the rain cloud bands are gradually moving southeast, the rain in Seoul, northern Gyeonggi Province, northern Gangwon Province, and some western regions is slowly tapering off.

The characteristic of this rainfall is that linear rain bands are dropping intense rain over narrow areas.

Currently, torrential rain of over 45 mm per hour is lashing the Naju area.

Looking ahead, rainfall is forecasted at 5 to 20 mm for Seoul, northern Gyeonggi Province, and the east coast of Gangwon Province; 10 to 60 mm for southern Gyeonggi Province, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon Province, Yeongnam, and Jeju; 20 to 60 mm for the Chungcheong region; and 30 to 80 mm for Honam and the mountainous areas of Jeju.

Rain in the central regions will mostly stop by tonight, while rain in the southern regions will continue until tomorrow morning (October 19).

Is it true that once the rain stops, the weather will turn chilly again?

[Weathercaster]

Yes, that's correct.

Cold air will descend from the north behind the rain clouds, causing the weather to turn sharply colder.

Today, Seoul's daytime high remained at 21.3°C (70°F), about 6°C lower than yesterday afternoon.

On Wednesday, the daytime high will stall at 15°C (59°F), and on Thursday, morning temperatures will plunge to 5°C (41°F), marking the coldest weather so far this autumn.

Strong winds will continue to blow in various parts of the country until tomorrow.

You should thoroughly check to make sure there are no loose objects that could be blown away.

Tomorrow morning, temperatures will start at 11°C (52°F) in Seoul and 12°C (54°F) in Daejeon, while daytime highs will remain chilly at 20°C (68°F) in Seoul and 22°C (72°F) in Jeonju.

The southern regions and Jeju will see another round of rain on Tuesday.

As the weather turns sharply colder, you need to pay close attention to your health.
