Goodbye, Sweltering Heat: Autumn Rain Brings Relief Starting Tomorrow

Autumn Rainy Season to Bring Heavy Rainfall Across Korea

The Korea Meteorological Administration has announced that the unusual autumn heat wave is expected to end today, marking the beginning of the ‘autumn rainy season‘ nationwide. Temperatures are expected to return to normal, with rain forecasted to fall along the stationary front and the barometric pressure around the Korean Peninsula set to change.

Heat Wave Warnings to be Lifted

Most inland heat wave warnings are expected to be lifted by 4 p.m. today, as the heat wave of around 35 degrees Celsius comes to an end. However, the relief will be short-lived, as heavy rain is expected to fall across the country tomorrow and the day after.

Heavy Rainfall Expected

The Korea Meteorological Administration has forecasted that inland areas, including southern Gyeonggi Province, will see up to 150mm of autumn rain. Mountainous areas of Jeju Island, which are affected by topography, will see up to 250mm of rain. This heavy rain is expected to last a long time and have a lot of rainfall in the form of autumn monsoon rain accompanied by a stationary front.

Precautions Against Flooding and Safety Accidents

The Korea Meteorological Administration has urged people to take thorough precautions against heavy rain, as heavy rain is expected in the fall following the heat wave. The prolonged rainfall may lead to flooding and safety accidents, and residents are advised to take necessary measures to ensure their safety.

Stay Prepared and Stay Safe

As the autumn rainy season begins, it is essential to stay prepared and take necessary precautions to ensure your safety. Stay tuned for updates on the weather forecast, and follow the instructions of local authorities to minimize the risks associated with heavy rainfall.
