[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] On Tuesday the 30th, heavy rain and strong winds will continue across the country.

In the central region excluding Gangwon Yeongdong, strong rain accompanied by thunder, lightning, and gusts of wind with about 30mm per hour is expected until dawn, with an expected cumulative rainfall of over 150mm.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts that Gangwon Yeongdong and the eastern coast of Gyeongbuk will experience heavy rain exceeding 80mm per hour until the afternoon, with a total rainfall of around 300mm.

Flooding in low-lying areas and farmland, landslides, and other rain-related damages are a concern, and sudden increases in water levels in valleys or rivers may occur, so safety precautions should be taken. Also, roads will be slippery and visibility will be low in rainy areas, so traffic safety should be carefully observed.

Additionally, 100 to 200mm of rainfall is forecast for the northeastern mountainous areas of Gyeongbuk; 50 to 100mm for northern inland Gyeongbuk, coastal Gyeongnam, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo; and 20 to 80mm for southern Gyeongbuk, Jeonbuk, Jeonnam, inland Gyeongnam, and Jeju Island.

The rain is expected to mostly stop around 3 p.m., and strong wind and high wave warnings are expected to be lifted in the afternoon.

Until daytime, sudden gusts and thunder/lightning are expected in the southern Yellow Sea, southern sea areas, and Jeju sea areas, so marine safety accidents should be carefully monitored.

Along the coasts of the East Sea, South Sea, and Jeju Island, high waves caused by swells may overflow coastal roads or breakwaters, so flooding in coastal lowlands and safety accidents should be watched for.

Sea waves will be high, ranging from 2 to 6 meters in the East Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 4 meters in the nearshore areas of the West Sea and South Sea. Offshore wave heights will be very high, with 2 to 7 meters in the East Sea, 1 to 4 meters in the West Sea, and 1.5 to 5 meters in the South Sea, so vessels navigating or fishing should exercise extreme caution.

The morning low temperature is forecast to be between 17 and 23 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 21 and 28 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' across all regions.
