In addition, the East Sea is expected to witness 1-2 storms or tropical depressions in July, which may affect the mainland.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting has reported that the average temperature across the country in July will generally be 0.5-1 degrees higher than the long-term average for this period. Rainfall is expected to be consistent with the historical averages.

In July, the East Sea is projected to experience 1-2 storms or tropical depressions, with a possibility of these weather systems impacting the mainland.

In the Central region, the ongoing heat wave is expected to persist. However, for the North, the heat is anticipated to subside by July 2, with a possible resurgence in the last 20 days of the month.

During the forecast period, the North, North Central, Central Highlands, and South regions will experience showers and thunderstorms on multiple days.

Notably, the North, Central Highlands, and South regions are likely to encounter moderate to heavy rain lasting about 2-4 days.

The meteorological agency has advised vigilance against thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning, and hail across the country.

From July 2 to 4: Moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected in the mountainous and midland areas of the North, with rainfall between 40-80mm and localized areas receiving over 150mm. The Northern Delta will also see showers and thunderstorms with rainfall ranging from 15-30mm, and some areas exceeding 80mm. This will likely bring an end to the current heat wave in the North by July 3.

From July 4: Gradual reduction in heavy rain in the mountainous and midland areas. From July 5-7, the North will experience scattered showers and thunderstorms in the evenings and nights, with localized heavy rain.

In the Central and Southern Regions
