The heavy rain advisory is issued when the rainfall is expected to reach 60mm in 3 hours or 110mm in 12 hours. It will be difficult to fully block the rain with an umbrella, and water levels in valleys or streams may rise. However, the heatwave warning issued for the entire Seoul area remains in effect.
