According to Yonhap News on June 30, the Jeju Regional Meteorological Administration announced that "this year's monsoon season has begun in Jeju," stating that rain will fall from today until early July 2 due to the northward movement of the North Pacific High and a stationary front.
The agency added that from early morning to noon on July 1, areas may experience heavy rain of about 30 mm per hour, accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms.
A preliminary heavy rain warning has been issued for the mountainous regions of Jeju, effective tonight, and a preliminary wind warning will be in place for the morning of July 1. A preliminary heavy rain warning has also been issued for the Jungseon area of Seogwipo City, effective early July 1.
Expected rainfall amounts are between 50 to 100 mm for most of Jeju (excluding the northern region), over 180 mm in mountainous areas, and more than 120 mm in other regions. The northern part of Jeju is expected to receive 30 to 80 mm.
The meteorological agency noted that the rainfall will vary between the southern and northern regions of Hallasan Mountain due to the continuous influx of strong southwesterly winds.
Additionally, rain is forecasted to continue from July 3 to 5 due to the influence of the stationary front.
However, the meteorological agency cautioned that "the timing and extent of the rainfall may vary significantly depending on the phase and intensity of the pressure trough," urging residents to manage facilities and remain vigilant against safety hazards.
