SEOUL, Aug. 6 (Korea Bizwire) – Another round of heavy rains is expected to drench the nation this week, with downpours of more than 120 millimeters expected in some parts of the country, the weather agency said Wednesday.
Northeastern areas of Gyeonggi Province and northern parts of Gangwon Province saw more than 80 mm of downpours Wednesday morning, with rainclouds forecast to travel southward in the afternoon, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA).
Around 30 to 100 mm of rain was expected in the greater Seoul area and parts of Gangwon Province and 30 to 80 mm in the provinces of Chungcheong and the country’s southern regions, including Jeju Island, through Thursday.
According to forecasts, southeastern parts of Gyeonggi, southern inland parts of Gangwon and the southern provinces of Jeolla could receive over 120 mm of rain.
The KMA cautioned against using roads near streams as they could suddenly swell from the downpours.
With rain expected to soak the nation, the daily high Wednesday is expected to reach 28 to 34 C.
