[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On the 8th, the whole country will be mostly cloudy with heavy rain centered around the Gyeongbuk region. Showers will fall in inland areas from daytime until early dawn tomorrow.

On the 8th, the Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that very heavy rain exceeding 40mm per hour accompanied by thunder and lightning will fall mainly in the Gyeongbuk region until the morning. From the afternoon until the day after tomorrow, some places with showers will experience heavy rain exceeding 30mm per hour.

The expected rainfall by 12 PM on the 8th is ▲Gyeongbuk region and Jeju Island 30~80mm, over 120mm in Jeju Island mountainous areas ▲Central region, Jeolla region, Gyeongnam region, Ulleungdo and Dokdo 5~40mm.

From the afternoon of the 8th to early dawn of the 9th, showers of 5~40mm will fall in inland areas nationwide. From daytime to night on the 9th, 5~60mm of rain is expected in eastern Gyeonggi, inland and mountainous Gangwon, inland Chungcheong, and southern inland areas.

The Korea Meteorological Administration said, "Due to the stationary front, very heavy rain of 100~300mm, and in some places over 400mm, will fall mainly in the southern regions, greatly weakening the ground. Even small amounts of rain may cause significant damage, so sufficient precautions should be taken to prevent flooding, backflow, landslides, or collapse damage."

Entering the rainy season, humidity will be high, and the perceived temperature will rise above 31 degrees Celsius in most areas. The highest daytime temperature is expected to be between 25 and 31 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels will be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions.

In island areas, dense fog with visibility below 200 meters due to sea fog may occur, so caution is needed to prevent safety accidents. In most maritime areas, gusts accompanied by thunder and lightning are expected.
