It’s monsoon season in South Korea.
They’re seeing short, localized downpours also called “Guerrilla rainstorms.”
By Wednesday morning, lower-lying streets in the capital area could have 30 centimeters or more standing water.
In the capital region, wind speeds were recorded at 20 meters per second, breaking down trees and streetlights.
The Korea Meteorological Administration says this is due to the growing air pressure gap from winds flowing in from the north and the south.
With the monsoon rain belt quickly moving south the country is going to be under heavy rainfall for the next few days.
Which is why weather analysts are advising extra caution.
“We’re expecting to see most of the rain at night…the hardest time for us to take any sort of measures. We suggest that people should stay indoors and make sure they have an emergency contact list at hand. We’re also asking vacationers near the coast or mountains to be aware of flooding or landslides.”
While rainfall will continue throughout the week, southern regions on the other hand, will see temperatures run high.
