**Heavy Rain to Blanket Jirisan Mountain, Hikers Urged to Exercise Extreme Caution**

**Jirisan, South Korea -** Heavy rain is forecast to persist throughout the day across Jirisan National Park, creating hazardous conditions for hikers. The mountain will be shrouded in cloud with near constant rain expected throughout the entire day. Temperatures will remain relatively stable, with a morning low of 17°C and a daytime high of 18°C.

Rain will be heaviest between 6 AM and 1 PM, with rainfall intensity ranging from light to moderate, approximately 1-6mm per hour.

High humidity, between 95 and 100 percent, will exacerbate the already damp conditions, and visibility is expected to be severely limited throughout the park. While the southwesterly wind will remain moderate at 2-4m/s, hikers should expect to feel rather cool given the high humidity and absence of sunshine. Though rainfall will decrease from 7 PM on, fog is likely to affect visibility at higher elevations such as at the Nogodan peak.

Park officials strongly advise against hiking on Jirisan today due to slippery trails and poor visibility. Those who must hike should wear waterproof hiking boots and rain gear, and exercise extreme caution, especially on rocky or steep terrain.
