Starting August 15, a low-pressure system weakened from Typhoon Dolphin will approach from Shanghai, China, bringing rain. Jeju will see rain on the 15th, with precipitation beginning in the southern regions by the afternoon. This rain is expected to expand nationwide by the early morning of the 16th and gradually taper off starting the night of the 17th.
Rainfall is forecasted to be between 50 to 100 millimeters in Busan, Ulsan, and Gyeongnam (with some areas along the southern coast and near Jirisan receiving over 150 millimeters), 30 to 80 millimeters in Honam, Daegu, Gyeongbuk, and Jeju (with some areas along the southern coast and near Jirisan receiving over 120 millimeters, and mountainous areas of Jeju over 150 millimeters), 20 to 60 millimeters in Chungcheong, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo, 5 to 30 millimeters in the metropolitan area, the five islands of the West Sea, Gangwon inland, and mountainous areas of Gangwon, and around 5 millimeters on the eastern coast of Gangwon.
