Next, let's look at the rain news.

As the rain cloud that caused great damage to the central region descends to the south, it is now pouring rain on southern regions such as Busan and Gyeongnam.

Let's check the current situation by connecting Busan where a heavy rain advisory has been issued.



Reporter Hong Seung-yeon, is it raining heavily in Busan right now?

Here in Busan, it rained and stopped all day.



It's raining hard like this right now.



The water level of the hot springs behind me is also rising.



The city of Busan has restricted access to three lower roads, including this coastal bridge.



The amount of rain that has fallen so far is 63.5 mm in Busan, 66 mm in Goseong, Gyeongnam, and 58.5 mm in Changwon.



In particular, it is raining at a rate of 20mm per hour around the southern coast.



A heavy rain advisory has been issued for 7 cities and counties in Gyeongnam, including Busan, Namhae, Tongyeong, and Changwon.



Fortunately, there have been no reports of damage to people or facilities in Busan and Gyeongnam, but caution is needed as it is predicted that rain will continue throughout the night.



This rain is expected to fall by 30 to 100 mm mainly on the southern coast and more than 150 mm in many places by the afternoon of the 17th.



In particular, this rain cloud belt is narrow from north to south and long from east to west, so there may be places where it rains 50mm or more per hour.



The Korea Meteorological Administration said that there may be thunderstorms and gusts along with rain, and urged local residents to pay attention to safety and check the special warning situation from time to time.



The Korea Forest Service has also raised its landslide crisis warnings in Busan and Gyeongnam from concern to caution.
