[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Heavy and intense rain will pour nationwide between August 31 and September 1.

The Chungcheong region is expected to receive over 250 mm, and southern Gyeonggi, southern Gangwon, and northern Gyeongbuk over 200 mm of very heavy rain, which may lead to the issuance of heavy rain warnings.
