Although heavy rain was expected in Seoul and the metropolitan area on Sunday morning, the 16th, the heavy rain advisory was lifted as the rain cloud band shifted away.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted strong rain mainly in southern Seoul and the metropolitan area, central and southern Gangwon Yeongseo, and northern Chungcheong from dawn to morning on the same day.

However, the heavy rain cloud band associated with the low pressure system formed in the northern areas such as northern Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon, leading to the lifting of the heavy rain advisory for Seoul and surrounding areas at 9 a.m.

Strong rain of around 20mm per hour is expected during the day in southeastern inland Gyeonggi, southern Gangwon Yeongseo, and some northern Chungcheong areas due to converging air currents, so the heavy rain advisory remains in effect.

Additionally, highly developed rain clouds accompanied by thunder and lightning are moving northeast from the western sea of Jeju Island into the Jeonnam region, bringing strong rain exceeding 20mm per hour mainly to the Jeolla and Gyeongsang regions until daytime.

Expected rainfall until the 17th is 30 to 80mm in eastern Gyeonggi, northern Chungcheong, and southern regions, and 20 to 60mm nationwide elsewhere.
