Showers are expected in various regions until this evening, Malbok (the last of the three traditional dog days of summer) today.

Rain will continue across the country throughout the Liberation Day long weekend.

The rain will begin in the southern regions and Jeju tomorrow, expanding to most areas by Sunday morning.

The expected rainfall for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is 30 to 80 mm in the southern regions, with heavy rain of over 150 mm likely in the southern coast of Gyeongsangnam-do and mountainous areas of Jeju.

While this will help ease the drought, caution is required as rain could pour down very strongly at a rate of 20 to 50 mm per hour.

Other central regions may also experience showers tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow morning's low in Seoul will be 24°C (75°F), similar to today, while daytime highs will rise to 32°C (90°F) in both Seoul and Daegu.
