[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] Heavy rain accompanied by strong winds is expected in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions on the 25th and 26th.

According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on the 24th, from the afternoon of the 25th to the afternoon of the 26th, a low-pressure system approaching from the west will bring very strong winds mainly to the southern coastal areas of Jeonnam.

Rain will begin along the Jeonnam coast with strong winds, expanding to the entire Gwangju and Jeonnam areas by evening, and is forecasted to continue until the morning of the 26th.

The expected rainfall amount is 30 to 70 mm in Gwangju and Jeonnam, with over 80 mm expected near the southern coast and around Jirisan.

In particular, accompanied by strong southerly winds bringing in a large amount of moisture, the southern coast of Jeonnam and the Jirisan area are expected to experience strong rain exceeding 20 to 30 mm per hour with gusts and thunder/lightning between late night on the 25th and early morning on the 26th, raising the possibility of a heavy rain warning being issued.

On the Jeonnam coast, winds of 35 to 65 km/h (10 to 18 m/s) and gusts up to 90 km/h (20 to 25 m/s) are expected from the night of the 25th to the afternoon of the 26th, with a possibility of a strong wind warning being issued.

Other areas may also experience gusts around 65 km/h (17 m/s).

A Gwangju Meteorological Administration official said, “As the ground is weakened during the thawing period and rain is falling, please be especially cautious of various collapse accidents such as falling rocks and retaining wall collapses.”
