[Weather] Much-needed rain across Korea but not enough

We're finally seeing the rain we've been waiting for.

Light rain is falling in parts of central regions, along the southern coast and Jeju this morning.

It will gradually spread to the rest of the southern provinces in the afternoon.

While it's much needed, especially in the areas affected by wildfires in Gyeongsang-do and surrounding regions, unfortunately, the rain isn't as heavy as hoped, less than 5 millimeters in the area, but at least the dryness in the air will be eased with humidity boosted.

For now, dry weather alerts continue across the eastern regions, and the wildfire risk alert remains at the highest level nationwide.

Adding to the fire risk, intense winds will continue.

Temperatures are staying on the warmer side at 20 degrees Celsius in the capital, Daegu at 24 degrees.

Dust levels are forecast to rise again in the west of central regions beginning in the afternoon.

Today's rain will bring chilly air to the country.

Expect a big drop in temperatures through the weekend. Take care and stay safe!
