A heavy rain warning is issued when the rainfall is expected to exceed 90mm in 3 hours or 180mm in 12 hours. It rains so heavily that it becomes difficult to see ahead, and caution is required against accidents such as flooding.

The heavy rain warnings previously issued for Gimpo, Goyang, and Incheon remain in effect.
