The monsoon season has officially begun across South Korea, with heavy rain expected to intensify throughout the day. Some areas could see rainfall rates as high as 50 millimeters per hour. Our Kim Jung-sil reports. The monsoon season has officially started in South Korea, with scattered showers expected to intensify throughout the day.
-----------------
Heavy rain advisories and warnings are in effect for Seoul, Incheon, and parts of Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do provinces, where rainfall could reach 50 millimeters per hour, along with strong winds, thunder and lightning. By the end of the day, the monsoon will spread across the entire country, with the authorities warning of significant rainfall through the weekend. "The rain currently falling will be recorded as the first monsoon rain of the year, and it will gradually expand nationwide.
------------------
By tonight, both central and southern regions will officially enter the monsoon season." With rainfall expected to reach 50 millimeters per hour, authorities are warning drivers of extremely dangerous conditions. "If rain exceeds 50 millimeters per hour, driving becomes impossible, as the rain hitting the windshield of a fast-moving vehicle can reduce visibility to almost zero, making it extremely difficult to see."

Authorities are also warning of localized flooding and heavy downpours, particularly in central and southern regions, as the rainfall intensifies. While the rains are expected to ease in central areas by Saturday afternoon, some parts of Jeju Island and the south may continue to see rain through Sunday. Kim Jung-sil, Arirang News.
