[Weather] May starts with rain and strong winds

Relief from the dry conditions is on the way!

However, this won't be a gentle drizzle.

The rain will start in the western regions this morning and then spread to the rest of the country throughout the afternoon.

Most of it should taper off by tonight.

Northwestern Gyeonggi-do province and the mountainous areas of Jeju island could see up to 60 millimeters of rain.

For Seoul and most other areas, we're looking at a range of 5 to 50 millimeters.

It's also going to be quite windy across the country, especially along the west coast, where we could see typhoon-force gusts with wind advisories in place.

This rain will bring a break from the recent heat, with temperatures going down 3 to 7 degrees lower than yesterday.

Seoul gets up to 18 degrees Celsius. Gyeongju will go down to 24 degrees today.

Looking ahead, we have more rain in the forecast for the entire country again during this upcoming long weekend.

Today will be a wet and windy day, so please take precautions and stay safe out there.
