Scattered rain across inland regions of South Korea will mostly stop by this afternoon, a YTN weather report said [1].
These weather patterns follow a period of volatile conditions that brought significant rainfall and dangerous wind gusts to several provinces. The transition to clearer weather marks the end of a specific band of heavy rain clouds that moved eastward overnight [1].
Since yesterday, the Seoul metropolitan area and parts of Gangwon-do recorded approximately 100 mm of rain [1]. The intensity of current rainfall has dropped to less than five mm per hour [1]. Meteorologists expect total rainfall for this afternoon to range between five mm and a maximum of 40 mm [1].
Wind conditions were particularly severe in the mountains. Caster Won Ida said wind gusts exceeding 30 m/s were observed in Misiryeong, Gangwon-do, during the night [1]. While most wind conditions are weakening, a wind advisory remains in effect for the East Sea coast [1].
Other affected inland areas include the central region, North Jeolla, and North Gyeongsang [1]. The shift in weather follows a period of heavy precipitation that impacted infrastructure and travel in the capital region.
An anchor for YTN questioned the duration of the current showers during the broadcast [1]. The weather caster said the rain is now sporadic as the primary system departs the peninsula [1].

The rapid movement of the heavy rain band indicates a transition toward more stable weather for the inland provinces, though the lingering wind advisory on the East Sea coast suggests that maritime conditions remain hazardous. This cycle of intense, localized precipitation followed by a quick clearing is characteristic of the region's seasonal volatility.
