On Thursday, August 13, rain will continue along the East Coast, particularly in Gangwon and North Gyeongsang provinces, while afternoon showers are expected in the inland areas of Chungcheong and the southern region. The daytime high is forecasted to reach 34 degrees Celsius, but morning temperatures will be similar to or slightly cooler than usual.
According to Yonhap News Agency, the east winds brought by Typhoon Chan-hom are creating rain clouds along the East Coast. The typhoon weakened into a temperate low-pressure system off the coast northwest of Osaka, Japan, on the afternoon of August 12.
Rainfall is expected to range from 30 to 80mm on Ulleungdo and Dokdo, and from 10 to 50mm on the eastern coast and mountainous areas of Gangwon and North Gyeongsang. In Busan, Ulsan, and the eastern inland areas of South Gyeongsang, 10 to 40mm of rain is anticipated.
From the afternoon to evening of August 13, showers are also expected in the inland areas of Chungcheong and the southern region. This instability in the atmosphere is due to the influx of warm, humid air from the weakened tropical depression associated with Typhoon Dolphi. Expected rainfall in Chungcheong and Honam is 5 to 20mm, while in Yeongnam it is 5 to 40mm. The Korea Meteorological Administration has also forecasted showers in various locations in Chungcheong and the southern inland areas on August 13.
Morning low temperatures are expected to be between 19 and 24 degrees Celsius, with daytime highs ranging from 26 to 34 degrees. Seoul is forecasted to see temperatures between 23 and 33 degrees, Daejeon 21 to 32 degrees, and Gwangju and Daegu reaching up to 34 degrees.
The Korea Meteorological Administration has advised that the perceived temperature in the metropolitan area could rise to around 33 degrees, urging residents to prepare for the heat during the day.
At the coast, caution is advised due to high waves. Strong swells are expected along the southern coast of Jeollanam-do and Gyeongsangnam-do, as well as in Jeju and the East Coast. With the moon's gravitational pull causing higher sea levels, there is also a risk of flooding in low-lying coastal areas.
