Overview

• By 8 a.m., central areas logged sharp totals including 41.8 mm in Seoul’s Jongno, 33.9 mm in Incheon, an hourly peak of 50 mm in Gangbuk with 72.5 mm total, 97 mm in Yangju, and 82 mm in Uijeongbu’s Singok-dong.
• Forecasters expect rain to taper in many regions by afternoon, with the east coast staying wet as Typhoon Peipah tracks north before veering east.
• Heavier rainfall is projected for the northern stretch of Gangwon’s east coast compared with central and southern coastal sections.
• Additional showers are forecast for southern South Chungcheong, North Chungcheong, the Honam region and Jeju, with Jeju likely to exceed 60 mm as warm, humid air destabilizes the atmosphere.
• Maximum wind speeds near 55 km/h are anticipated for parts of the southern east coast and surrounding seas, prompting cautions for coastal and marine conditions.
