[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] A 'Heavy Rain Advisory' has been issued for the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions starting from the morning of the 13th.

According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on the 12th, due to rain clouds associated with a low-pressure system, heavy rain is expected from the afternoon of the 12th until the afternoon of the 14th.

Currently, rain clouds are forming over central and southern China, where hot and humid air is gathering, and these clouds are gradually moving over the Yellow Sea towards South Korea.

Rain will begin along the southwest coast and will expand to cover the entire Gwangju and Jeonnam areas by late afternoon.

Rain will start to cease from the west coast on the morning of the 14th and will stop in most areas by the afternoon.

During this period, heavy rain of 70 to 150 mm accompanied by thunder and lightning is expected.

Due to topographical effects, the southern coast and areas near Jirisan Mountain will receive over 200 mm of heavy rain, and some places may experience strong rainfall of 30 to 50 mm per hour.

Because of the clouds moving over the Yellow Sea into South Korea, the heating effect on the ground surface will be reduced, resulting in daytime temperatures similar to the previous day (26 to 31℃).

On the 13th, with the rain, daytime temperatures will remain below 30℃, 1 to 4℃ lower than today, but due to the wet ground from the rain, the perceived temperature is expected to be 1 to 3℃ higher.

After this rain ends, no low-pressure systems activating the stationary front are expected to pass until next week, so most areas will have no further rain forecast.
