On Saturday, July 18, heavy rain accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms is expected to hit the central regions, including the metropolitan area, Gangwon, and Chungcheong provinces.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on July 17, the rain will intensify in the central regions starting early Saturday morning.
Areas in the metropolitan area, inland Gangwon, southern Chungcheong, and northern Chungbuk may experience sudden downpours of 50 to 80 millimeters per hour.
Other parts of the central regions are also forecasted to receive heavy rain of 30 to 50 millimeters per hour, necessitating caution.
This rain is expected to be concentrated over a short period, which could lead to sudden rises in water levels in valleys and rivers. Precautions should be taken to prevent damage from additional heavy rain, such as landslides, collapses of embankments, and flooding in low-lying areas.
Tomorrow morning, the minimum temperature is expected to range from 22 to 26 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature during the day will be between 26 and 31 degrees Celsius. In areas experiencing rain, visibility may decrease sharply, and many roads will be slippery, so traffic safety should be a priority this weekend.
While sea conditions are expected to be relatively calm, rain and wind will still be present.
