Today (the 21st), heavy rain of nearly 70mm per hour pounded the Jecheon area in North Chungcheong Province.

As rain clouds are once again flowing in from the West Sea, heavy rain warnings are currently in effect for some southern regions.

Rain in the central regions will continue until tomorrow morning, but will mostly stop by early dawn, though areas in Chungcheong and southward should watch out for strong showers until evening.

Skies will clear up again tomorrow, but more showers are forecasted across various parts of the country once again in the afternoon.

Sunday marks Cheoseo, one of the 24 solar terms on the lunar calendar.

Although it is a traditional term signaling the subsiding of the heat, intense heat is expected to return.

As the North Pacific High expands, daytime temperatures are expected to reach 33°C (91°F) in Seoul and 35°C (95°F) in Yangsan.
