[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Tuesday the 22nd, showers will begin in the Seoul metropolitan area and spread to the southern regions in the afternoon. From the evening, strong showers with rainfall of 20 to 30mm per hour are expected in Chungbuk and the southern inland areas, so caution is advised for facility management.
The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that due to unstable atmospheric conditions, showers will start in the morning in the Seoul metropolitan area, inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, Chungnam region, and northern Jeonbuk; in the afternoon in Chungbuk and southern regions (excluding the southern and eastern coasts); and from night in the eastern coast. Expected precipitation until early morning on the 23rd is 10 to 60mm.
The KMA explained, "Between evening and dawn, very strong showers with more than 80mm of heavy rainfall may occur in Chungbuk and the southern inland areas."
Showers are also expected tomorrow. In the Seoul metropolitan area, Chungcheong, and Jeolla regions, showers will begin in the morning; in Gangwon Yeongseo, inland Gyeongsang, and Jeju Island, showers will start in the afternoon. Expected precipitation on the 23rd is 5 to 30mm.
In areas experiencing showers until the 23rd, gusty winds and thunder and lightning are expected, and hail may fall mainly in inland areas, so caution is needed for crop management.
The highest daytime temperature on the 22nd is expected to be between 19 and 30 degrees Celsius, and the lowest morning temperature on the 23rd between 16 and 20 degrees Celsius. Fine dust levels are forecasted to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions.
On the eastern coast, until the 22nd, high waves caused by swell will strongly hit the sandy beaches, and waves may overflow coastal roads, rocky shores, and breakwaters, so access to coastal areas should be avoided. Dense sea fog will persist until the 23rd in the southern sea and until the 24th in the western sea, so ships navigating or fishing should exercise caution.
