Heavy Rain to Sweep Korea with Thunderstorms and Flood Alerts
Hi everyone, here’s a quick heads-up about the weather tomorrow—you’ll definitely want to be prepared. According to the latest update from the Korea Meteorological Administration, a large swath of the country is expected to see significant rainfall continuing through Tuesday, July 16. This isn't just your average drizzle—it’s the kind of rain that disrupts your plans, slows down your commute, and makes you double-check your umbrella before stepping out.
Starting from tonight and lasting through tomorrow night, most areas will be affected by rain, but the most intense downpours are expected in specific regions. If you're in the mid-to-northern part of Gangwon Yeongdong, the Chungcheong area, or Jeonbuk, be particularly cautious. These areas could see thunderstorms and even strong gusts accompanying the rain. Some places might even experience rainfall rates of around 30mm per hour—yes, that’s heavy enough to cause localized flooding or road disruptions.

Rainfall totals by region are forecast to be quite varied. The Seoul area might get anywhere between 10 to 60mm, while parts of Gangwon Yeongdong could exceed 100mm in the north. The Chungcheong and Jeonbuk regions are also likely to see 10 to 60mm. Even Jeju Island isn’t being spared, though it’ll receive relatively less at around 5 to 20mm. The good news is, the rain should taper off by late Tuesday night in most places.
Now, about temperatures—you won’t get much relief from the heat. Morning lows will be in the range of 19 to 23°C, and daytime highs will climb up to 26 to 31°C, so it’s going to stay warm and muggy despite the rain. Cities like Seoul, Incheon, and Busan are expected to hover around 28°C during the day.
On a slightly brighter note, air quality will be good nationwide thanks to the rain and favorable air dispersion conditions. So, while the skies may be grey, at least you can breathe a little easier.
If you’re planning to travel, commute, or have any outdoor activities, make sure to stay alert. Bring rain gear, drive carefully, and watch out for waterlogged roads, especially in areas expected to get the heaviest rain. Keep an eye on weather alerts in your region—they’re there to help you stay safe.
Bottom line: tomorrow's not the day to forget your umbrella or ignore the forecast. Stay dry, stay safe, and let’s all get through another summer rain with a little extra caution.
