"Hold On to Your Umbrella: Strong Rain and Gusty Winds Across the Country... Maximum Perceived Temperature 33°C [Weather]"

Korea Meteorological Administration Urges “Extra Caution” Amid Heavy Rain and Tropical Nights

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecast that on Wednesday, July 15, strong rain accompanied by gusty winds will fall across the country.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, from the night of the previous day through the early morning of July 15, very heavy and intense rain with thunder and lightning is expected, mainly in the central region and Jeolla area.

Expected rainfall (in millimeters): Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi Province, and the five West Sea Islands: 30–100 mm; northern Gyeonggi Province: over 120 mm; inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon Province: 30–80 mm; northern inland Gangwon: over 100 mm; eastern coast of Gangwon: 5–40 mm; Daejeon, Sejong, Chungnam, and Chungbuk: 30–80 mm; Jeonbuk: 30–80 mm; Gwangju and Jeonnam: 20–60 mm; Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam: 5–40 mm; Jeju Island: 5–40 mm.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advised, "Very heavy and intense rainfall is expected during the vulnerable nighttime hours, so please pay attention to safety to prevent landslides, levee collapses, facility flooding, and other accidents."

As the rain falls, some area-specific heat wave advisories may be lifted or eased. However, due to persistent humidity and high apparent temperatures, the maximum perceived temperature on July 15 is expected to rise to around 33 degrees Celsius, resulting in continued hot weather.

The morning low temperature is forecast to be between 23 and 27 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high is expected to be between 27 and 37 degrees Celsius.

The Korea Meteorological Administration further cautioned, "In the eastern coast of Gangwon, Gyeongsang region, Jeolla region, and Jeju Island, nighttime temperatures may not drop sufficiently, with minimum temperatures staying above 25 degrees Celsius overnight, so some areas may experience tropical night conditions."
