Weather Forecast: Rain and High Temperatures Expected in Daegu and Gyeongbuk

Residents of Daegu and Gyeongbuk are advised to carry an umbrella on Friday morning due to the influence of a low-pressure trough, which is expected to bring rain to the region.

Rainfall is expected to be around 5mm by morning, with some areas experiencing heavier downpours. The northern Gyeongbuk east coast and the northeastern mountainous region of Gyeongbuk will be affected by the east wind, resulting in occasional rain showers of 5 to 40 mm until tomorrow morning.

Starting this afternoon, showers of 50-60mm are expected in Daegu and Gyeongbuk. Residents are advised to exercise caution, as some areas may experience heavy rain of up to 20mm per hour, accompanied by thunder and lightning.

Heat Wave Continues

Despite the rain, the heat wave is expected to continue, with temperatures remaining higher than average. Yesterday, Daegu’s daytime high soared to 35.1 degrees Celsius, causing intense daytime heat.

Although there is a chance of rain today, the humidity will remain high, making it feel even hotter. Heat wave warnings will be issued again in some areas, and higher than average temperatures will continue tomorrow and the day after.
