**Heavy Rain Lashes South Korea on Baekro, Defying Seasonal Expectations**

**Seoul, South Korea –** Contrary to the tradition of Baekro (White Dew), the seasonal marker signifying the start of dew formation, South Korea is experiencing widespread heavy rainfall today, Sunday, September 7th.

The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) has issued warnings for heavy rain across most of the country. The Seoul metropolitan area and inland/mountainous regions of Gangwon Province are expected to see rain throughout the morning. The Chungcheong region will experience rainfall into the afternoon. The southern provinces and Jeju Island will continue to be affected by rain into the evening. Light showers are also possible along the east coast of Gangwon Province.

Rainfall amounts are predicted to be significant. The Seoul metropolitan area, Incheon, Gyeonggi Province, Daejeon, Sejong, South Chungcheong, North Jeolla, Gwangju, and South Jeolla are expected to receive between 30 and 80 millimeters of rain, with some areas (southern/northeastern Gyeonggi, Sejong, northern South Chungcheong, northern South Jeolla, Gwangju) potentially exceeding 100 millimeters. Daejeon, the southern part of South Chungcheong, and North Jeolla could see upwards of 120 millimeters. Inland and mountainous regions of Gangwon, as well as North Chungcheong, are forecast to receive 20-60 millimeters, with some areas (central/southern inland Gangwon, North Chungcheong) potentially receiving over 80 millimeters.

Adding to the unusual weather pattern, the muggy heat persists. Morning low temperatures will range from 21 to 27 degrees Celsius, while daytime highs are forecast between 28 and 32 degrees Celsius.

The good news is that air quality will be “good” nationwide due to atmospheric diffusion and the cleansing effect of the rain.

Sea conditions are expected to be relatively calm, with waves in the East and South Seas ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 meters and in the West Sea from 0.5 to 1.0 meters. Further offshore, wave heights are predicted to reach a maximum of 2.0 meters in the East and West Seas and 1.5 meters in the South Sea.

The KMA urges residents to remain vigilant, exercise caution while traveling, and stay informed about weather updates.
