[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] Starting from the morning of the 7th, heavy rain is expected in the Seoul metropolitan area and the central region.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 6th, rain will fall from the morning of the 7th until the 8th in the central region, Honam, northern inland Gyeongbuk, and Jeju. Rainfall is expected to be 30-100mm in the Seoul metropolitan area and inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, up to 150mm or more in northern Gyeonggi and northern inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, 10-60mm in Chungcheong, southern regions, Jeju mountainous areas, and the five western islands, and about 5-30mm in the Gangwon east coast and mountains excluding Jeju area, Ulleungdo, and Dokdo.

The Korea Meteorological Administration explained that a low-pressure system will bring a long rain cloud band from north to south across South Korea, causing heavy rain.

On the west coast, gusts of wind with speeds around 55 km/h are anticipated on the 7th.
