Weekend deluge leaves flood damage as heat, more rain follow

Heavy monsoon rains hit South Korea over the weekend, causing widespread flooding, landslides, power outages, and evacuations. Authorities reported 837 incidents of rain-related damage, including 270 flooded homes and roads, and 567 cases needing emergency safety measures. Over 441 people from 338 households were evacuated across 21 cities and counties, with 339 still in temporary shelters. In some areas, such as Andong, rescuers saved individuals trapped by floodwaters, while investigations were ongoing into potential drownings linked to the heavy rain. As the rain subsided, heatwave alerts were issued, but forecasts indicated another round of rainfall was expected soon.
