As I mentioned earlier, the heavy rain last night put the entire city of Seoul in a state of paralysis for a while.
If it rains tonight, something similar might happen tomorrow.
We will connect the Disaster Broadcasting Center to check the weather conditions at this time.
Reporter Kim Ah-young!
What is the situation now?

Let’s check your radar video first.
As the rain cloud bands shifted little by little, areas with heavy rains in the metropolitan area once more increased.
As I explained earlier, the dark red clouds are in areas that are falling more than 30mm per hour.
Seoul is also included.
Yongsan-gu, Dongdaemun-gu, and Jungnang-gu are painted red.
It is also raining heavily in Ansan and Hanam areas in Gyeonggi-do.
There is a part painted in purple, but this is a section with torrential downpours of more than 50 millimeters per hour.
Mapo-gu, Seoul, Yeongdeungpo-gu, and Namyangju, Gyeonggi-do are also included.
So let’s take a look at the road conditions in downtown Seoul, where the rain was the worst last night.
Riverside North Road is under full control for now.
Currently, the road from the northern end of the Dongho Bridge to the junction of the Gangbyeonbuk-ro of the Dongbu Arterial Road is completely controlled.
As you can see, there are no cars below.
Take a look at Banpo Bridge.
It’s smooth once more now, but I can’t rest assured.
It is because the rain is gradually getting stronger, but if you compare the situation this morning for a moment, it is completely blocked and it is not proceeding at all.
It was a place where traffic was disrupted as the roads were controlled and even detour vehicles overlapped.
The same goes for the southern end of Gayang Bridge.
There are still many vehicles, but in the morning there was no movement at all.
Let’s look at the situation where a flood warning was issued.
Gangwon-do Pyeongchang Bridge, the river is full of water just below the road, and it is a dangerous situation.
The water level is now hovering around 2.5 meters, the level of concern for flooding.
Let’s see Wonju Munmakgyo Bridge.
At a glance, it looks like the water has risen a lot here, and I thought the water level would be lower, but there is no big change in the vicinity of 4 meters.
It is not much different from the flood advisory standard of 4.5 meters.
The Korea Meteorological Administration recommends that residents in hazardous areas evacuate in advance in case of emergency.
So far, it has been delivered by the Disaster Broadcasting Center.
