Scenes of destruction and chaos are emerging from regions hardest hit by the rain, particularly in Seosan, which recorded over 400mm of rainfall in just half a day—an event deemed unprecedented. Residents express shock and fear as their neighborhoods experience flooding unlike any in living memory.

As authorities work to mitigate risks, including potential landslides and flash floods, the effects of climate change continue to raise questions about the frequency and intensity of such weather events.

With dry air from the northwest meeting the humid conditions from the south, meteorologists forecast that high temperatures could prevail next week, raising concerns about additional heatwaves following the current crisis.
