Rainfall does not necessarily mean that the heat and tropical nights in the southern regions will be fully relieved.

Strong Weather Conditions Continue in Daegu and North Gyeongsang Through the Night

Daegu and North Gyeongsang are expected to receive an additional 10–60 mm of rain through the night, accompanied by gusty winds, thunder, and lightning. The observed daytime highs were 30.3°C in Daegu, 31°C in Gimcheon, and 29.4°C in Cheongdo.

Residents in Daegu and North Gyeongsang should therefore watch not only the expected rainfall but also the gusty winds, thunder, and lightning that may accompany it. Forecast figures may change depending on when the forecast is issued.

Humid Heat Continues in Busan, Ulsan, and South Gyeongsang Despite the Rain

Busan, Ulsan, and South Gyeongsang are expected to receive 5–40 mm of rain. Ulsan may see intermittent rain throughout the day, while high humidity is expected to prolong the perceived heat.
