There were no casualties or damage to facilities, but a temporary evacuation occurred involving 270 people in the Busan, Gyeongsang, and Jeonnam regions over two days. Rain is expected to continue until this Saturday.
The Ministry of the Interior and Safety and the Korea Meteorological Administration said on this day, "All heavy rain warnings except for mountainous and island areas have been lifted," adding, "As of 10 a.m., there are places in the metropolitan area and northern regions of Gangwon and northern North Gyeongsang where it is raining." A heavy rain advisory was issued for Ulleungdo and Dokdo as of 11 a.m., and preliminary heavy rain warnings were in effect for Gangwon's Gangneung, Sokcho, Goseong, Yangyang, as well as the central and northern mountainous areas.
Total accumulated rainfall from the 13th to the 14th was high, particularly in the Gyeongnam and Busan areas. ▲Gyeongnam Geoje 242 mm ▲Busan Sasang 192.5 mm ▲Busan Saha 178.5 mm ▲Gyeongnam Miryang 167 mm ▲Gyeongnam Gimhae 161.6 mm ▲North Gyeongsang Gyeongju 141.9 mm ▲Gyeongnam Yangsan 141.2 mm ▲Jeonnam Yeosu 137 mm. As a result, a landslide warning has been issued for Miryang City in Gyeongnam.
During this period, there were no casualties or damage to facilities. However, 270 people from 191 households in Busan, Jeonnam, North Gyeongsang, and Gyeongnam were temporarily evacuated. As of early that morning, 126 households and 182 individuals had not yet returned home. Most of them are staying in temporary housing facilities such as community centers, senior citizen centers, and private accommodations.
Rain is likely to continue until this Saturday. In the eastern Gangwon region, very heavy rain of 30 to 50 mm per hour is expected late that afternoon. The temperature is expected to drop slightly due to the rain, temporarily easing the heat wave. The maximum temperature during the day is projected to be between 24 and 31 degrees, which is lower than the previous day.
However, the Korea Meteorological Administration urged, "After the rain stops, humidity will be high, and the feel-like temperature may rise again during the day, making it hot, so please refer to the forecast."
Meanwhile, Typhoon No. 5, "Nari," which occurred at 3 a.m. the previous day, is expected to pass east of Sapporo, Japan, and weaken into a temperate low-pressure area near Sakhalin, Russia, around the 16th. It is expected to have no direct impact on the Korean Peninsula. Nari is a name submitted by South Korea, meaning lily in pure Korean.
