Floods in central South Korea, extreme heat too... Abnormal weather on Korean Peninsula = Korean coverage

Due to the effects of the heavy rain that fell after the end of the rainy season for the first time in 80 years in South Korea, subway services were suspended in the central region, affecting the transportation of many commuters. It was a record heavy rain that the president instructed to adjust the commuting time.

In Seocho and Gangnam, which are relatively low above sea level, the roads have become like rivers, causing frequent flooding of vehicles.

An apartment building near Sadang Station was damaged by flooding, causing the ground to collapse and the walls surrounding the apartment to collapse.

The southern region is expected to experience record-breaking heat today, following yesterday's record.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) forecasts that the central region will experience heavy rainfall, while the southern region will experience temperatures as high as 36 degrees Celsius, making it extremely hot and humid. Some places in the southern region are likely to have tropical nights.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) announced that heavy rain with gusts and thunder will occur in the central region and northern Gyeongsangbuk-do due to a stationary front.

The metropolitan area, Gangwon Province, and the five islands of Seohae are expected to receive 100 to 200 mm of rain, and in some cases 300 mm.

The east coast of Gangwon-do, Chungcheong-do, northern Gyeongsangbuk-do, Ulleungdo, and Takeshima are expected to receive 30 to 80mm of rain, with more than 150mm in some areas.

The stationary front this time is long in the east-west direction and narrow in the north-south direction, so it is expected to bring a lot of rain locally.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, depending on the region, heavy rainfall of 50 to 80 mm per hour is expected in some areas.
