**Headline: Rain Expected Across South Korea Thursday, Heavy Showers and Thunderstorms Possible**

**Seoul, South Korea (Yonhap) –** South Korea is bracing for a mostly cloudy day with widespread rain on Thursday, September 25th, 2025, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration.

The downpour is expected to be particularly intense in the southern regions of Chungnam and Jeolla, with the possibility of strong winds, thunder, and lightning. While Seoul, Incheon, and northern Gyeonggi, along with northern Gangwon, may experience light drizzle in the morning, heavier rainfall is anticipated throughout the day in other parts of the country.

Rainfall amounts are predicted to range from 5mm in southern Gyeonggi to as much as 80mm or more in southern Jeonbuk and parts of Gwangju and South Jeolla. The central regions can expect a lower amount of rain of around 5 to 40 mm. Other regions, including Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam, Daegu, Gyeongbuk, Ulleungdo, Dokdo, and Jeju Island, will likely see rainfall amounts between 5 and 40mm.

Morning temperatures across the country range from the high teens to mid 20s Celsius. Daytime highs will be near average, ranging from 24 to 30 degrees Celsius.

Air quality is expected to be generally good to moderate nationwide, although an influx of foreign particulate matter could increase levels in the mid-western regions later in the day.

The Korea Meteorological Administration advises caution, especially for drivers in Gyeongnam due to possible morning fog. Strong winds are also possible in the mountainous regions of Gangwon. Mariners should be aware of possible thunderstorms and gusts at sea.
