KMA: "Showers in the Seoul Metropolitan Area, Expanding Nationwide This Afternoon... Up to 30mm per Hour"

Heavy Showers of 15mm per Hour in Seoul's Southwestern Area and Southern Metropolitan Region
Expanding to Central Regions, Jeolla Area, and Western Inland Gyeongsang in the Afternoon

[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Monday the 28th, showers will begin in the metropolitan area in the morning and expand to various parts of the central region by the afternoon. Some areas will experience heavy showers exceeding 30mm per hour in the afternoon, so caution is advised against rain damage.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) announced that on the 28th, the sky will be mostly cloudy nationwide, and as of 9 a.m., strong showers accompanied by thunder and lightning with rainfall exceeding 15mm per hour are occurring in the southwestern part of Seoul and the southern metropolitan area.

In the morning, strong showers accompanied by thunder and lightning with rainfall exceeding 15mm per hour will occur mainly in the metropolitan area, and in the afternoon, the showers will expand to the central region (excluding Gangwon Yeongdong), Jeolla region, and the inland western part of Gyeongsang. Daytime temperatures will rise and atmospheric instability will increase, causing very heavy showers exceeding 30mm per hour in some areas.

The KMA urged, "In areas where showers are falling, the rain cloud bands will develop vertically due to atmospheric instability, causing gusts of wind along with thunder and lightning, and hail may also fall. Please pay special attention to the management of crops and facilities and to safety accidents."

Due to the localized development of rain cloud bands causing showers, there will be significant differences in rainfall intensity and amount between regions, and many areas will experience breaks in the rain.
