Gwangju and Jeonnam Lift 'Heatwave Warning' After 6 Days... Rain Expected Until the 10th

On the 29th of last month, heavy monsoon rain in Gwangju Metropolitan City caused rainwater to backflow from a drainage pipe on a road in Chipyeong-dong, Seo-gu.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The heatwave that had been raging in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions has eased.

According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on the 5th, with rain forecasted in Gwangju and Jeonnam until the 10th, the heatwave advisory that had been in effect since the 31st of last month was lifted at 4 p.m. on this day.

The heatwave advisory is issued when the perceived temperature is expected to be 33℃ or higher for two or more consecutive days.

The Meteorological Administration expects rain to continue in Gwangju and Jeonnam until the 10th.

On the 6th, rain will fall due to the influence of rain clouds associated with the weakened low pressure of Typhoon No. 4 'Hagupit.'

On the 7th and 8th, the area will be affected by a trough, and on the 9th and 10th, positioned at the edge of the North Pacific High, warm and humid water vapor will flow in, causing convective showers due to atmospheric instability.

The expected rainfall in Gwangju and Jeonnam until the 7th is forecasted to be 50 to 100 mm, with some areas receiving up to 150 mm.

The minimum temperature on the morning of the 6th will be 24 to 26℃, and the maximum temperature during the day will be 27 to 30℃. On the 7th, the minimum temperature in the morning will be 24 to 25℃, and the maximum temperature during the day will be 27 to 29℃.

A representative from the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration said, “Due to the recent heavy rain, the ground has weakened, and with the very heavy rain expected to fall, there are concerns about flooding of rivers and reservoirs, landslides, retaining wall collapses, flooding of farmland or low-lying areas, and underpass inundation. We urge thorough inspection of risk factors in advance and strict preparedness, and to refrain from outdoor activities such as going out or entering dangerous areas to prevent casualties.”
