Expanding Nationwide by Tomorrow Afternoon

Up to 120mm in Jeju, Southern Coast, and Northern Gangwon
Rain Stops from Jeolla by Morning After Tomorrow

Stationary Front Lingers Over Jeju, Moves North Again on 28th with Rain Forecast Until Next Month 1st

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] As the stationary front moves northward, the central and southern regions enter the full rainy season following Jeju.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that the rainy season rain will fall nationwide from the 24th to the 26th. Rain will begin tomorrow dawn in Jeju Island, the west coast, Seoul, and Gyeonggi Province, and the rain cloud band will gradually move eastward, expanding nationwide by the afternoon.

There will be gusts, thunder, and lightning along with rain in various parts of the country. Especially in the southern coast, Jeju Island, and northern Gangwon Province, some areas will experience heavy rain exceeding 30mm per hour due to topographical effects, and northern Gangwon Province and Jeju Island (excluding the northern part) are expected to receive heavy rainfall exceeding 120mm.

If the movement speed of the low-pressure system slows down, the duration of strong rain cloud influence will lengthen, potentially increasing precipitation in the central region as well. Expected rainfall amounts are 30 to 80mm in the central region, northern Gyeongbuk, southern coast, Jeju Island (excluding the northern part), and the five western islands. The southern region excluding northern Gyeongbuk and the southern coast, northern Jeju Island, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo are expected to receive around 10 to 50mm.

The rainy season rain is expected to start in Jeolla Province on the morning of the day after tomorrow, spread to most southern regions in the afternoon, and cease in Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, and Chungcheong Province by night. Rain will continue in Gangwon Province and Gyeongsangbuk Province until the morning of the 26th.

Afterward, the stationary front will remain over the southern sea near Jeju for a while before moving north again around the 28th. As a low-pressure system approaches from the west, the stationary front will also move northward, and the rainy season rain will continue until the 1st of next month.

With the rain cloud band blocking sunlight, the heatwave warning will be lifted. Daytime temperatures are expected to be around 25 to 30 degrees Celsius, but due to humid air, the perceived temperature will be about 1 to 2 degrees higher.
