Loud, sudden showers are falling in various regions.

These showers are expected to continue until the early hours of tomorrow, June 26. In particular, some areas in the central region and North Gyeongsang Province may see intense rainfall of around 30mm per hour, so those returning home late should take extra precautions against safety accidents.

Gangwon Province, North Chungcheong Province, and the Yeongnam region will also see scattered showers tomorrow morning and afternoon.

The monsoon season has not yet begun.

This is because cold, dry air is still lingering in the upper atmosphere over the Korean Peninsula.

For the monsoon season to begin, the North Pacific High, located to the south, must expand its influence toward the Korean Peninsula, but it is currently positioned over the waters south of Japan.

Consequently, the two typhoons currently moving northward are also expected to head toward Japan along the edge of this high-pressure system.

The average start date for the monsoon season in Korea is June 19 for Jeju Island and June 25—which was today—for the central region.

It usually begins around this time of year.

The Korea Meteorological Administration expects this summer's monsoon season to begin after the middle of next week, in July.

There have only been two years in history when the monsoon season in Korea began in July.

Let's take a look at the satellite imagery.

The skies across the country are mostly cloudy.

Tomorrow, clouds will gradually clear from the morning, revealing sunny skies, and heat will arrive during the day.

Daytime temperatures in Seoul will rise to 30°C (86°F), making it feel hot.

Through this weekend, clear skies will prevail, and scorching heat with daytime temperatures exceeding 30°C (86°F) will continue.
