Scattered Showers Amidst Heat Tomorrow; Monsoon Rain Forecast

Following the monsoon rain that affected Jeju and the southern regions yesterday (June 30), some areas in Chungcheong and Gangwon provinces saw rainfall today, effectively marking the start of the monsoon season in the central region as well.

On this first day of July, the entire nation has entered the monsoon season in earnest.

From now on, the stationary front will move north and south, causing monsoon rain to fall intermittently.

For tomorrow, the stationary front will move slightly southward, with only light rain expected in Jeju until the daytime.

Starting from the afternoon of the day after tomorrow (July 3), the stationary front will move northward again in earnest, and the rain will expand to the Chungcheong region by Saturday.

Monsoon rain in the Seoul metropolitan area and other parts of the capital region is expected to begin next Monday.

Until then, scattered showers will fall amidst the heat.

Tomorrow, some areas may experience heavy downpours with precipitation reaching up to 60mm, so please be cautious of safety accidents.

Looking at the satellite imagery, a long stationary front is positioned to the south, while localized shower clouds have developed over the capital region and Gangwon Province; these areas may see showers continuing until early tomorrow morning.

The sky will be mostly cloudy tomorrow, but as the stationary front moves southward and the rain mostly enters a lull, it will be hot during the day.

All heatwave advisories have been lifted, and daytime temperatures in Seoul, Daegu, and Gwangju are expected to reach 30°C (86°F).

In Seoul, the heat exceeding 30°C (86°F) is expected to continue for the time being, and the heat will subside slightly when monsoon rain arrives next Monday.
