A flood advisory has been issued for the Neobudaegyo Bridge area on Mokgam Stream in Seoul.

The Han River Flood Control Office announced that it issued a flood advisory for the Neobudaegyo Bridge station in the Han River basin in Seoul, effective as of 10:40 p.m. today (July 14).

The Han River Flood Control Office urged residents in Gwangmyeong, Siheung, and Guro-gu, Seoul, to exercise extreme caution, citing concerns over potential flood damage due to rising water levels and the risk of the stream overflowing.

A flood advisory is issued when water levels are expected to reach 50 percent of the planned flood discharge capacity. It is upgraded to a flood warning if water levels continue to rise and are expected to exceed 70 percent of the planned flood discharge capacity.

The water level threshold for a flood advisory at the Neobudaegyo Bridge station in Seoul is 3.5 meters, while the threshold for a flood warning is 4.5 meters.
