[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Bong-ju] On Friday the 14th, heavy rain will fall mainly in the central region, with significant regional differences in precipitation. Additionally, the daytime high temperature will rise to 36 degrees Celsius, and heatwave warnings will be issued for most parts of the country.

Rain will begin early in the morning in northern Gyeonggi and northwestern Gangwon Yeongseo, gradually expanding by evening to Seoul, southern Gyeonggi, southwestern Gangwon Yeongseo, northern Chungcheong, and Gangwon Yeongdong. In particular, some areas will experience very heavy rain exceeding 300mm, accompanied by gusts, thunder, and lightning.

The expected precipitation from today through tomorrow is forecasted as follows: Seoul, Gyeonggi Province, Gangwon Yeongseo, northern Chungcheong, and the five western islands 100?200mm (with some areas exceeding 300mm); Gangwon Yeongdong, southern Chungcheong, and northern Gyeongsang 20?80mm; and Jeju Island mountain areas 5?20mm.

Due to the expected heavy rain in North Korea as well, water levels in rivers near northern Gyeonggi (such as the Imjin River and Hantan River) may rise rapidly. Therefore, special caution is required to prevent safety accidents and flood damage among campers and vacationers at campsites and resorts.

Thanks to smooth atmospheric dispersion, air quality will remain clean. Fine dust concentrations will be 'good' across all regions.

By region, the morning low temperatures are forecasted as follows: △Seoul 26°C △Chuncheon 25°C △Gangneung 26°C △Daejeon 26°C △Cheongju 26°C △Daegu 25°C △Busan 25°C △Jeonju 26°C △Gwangju 26°C △Jeju 28°C.

The daytime high temperatures are expected to be: △Seoul 28°C △Chuncheon 28°C △Gangneung 33°C △Daejeon 32°C △Cheongju 32°C △Daegu 36°C △Busan 32°C △Jeonju 34°C △Gwangju 31°C △Jeju 36°C.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "Since the ground has weakened due to recent heavy rain, caution is necessary to prevent flood damage such as inundation of low-lying areas and farmland, landslides, and retaining wall collapses."
