Global climate change on a global level:
The weather has contrasted starkly in different regions of the country this summer, which is quite unusual for the summer monsoon that has generally brought downpours evenly throughout the country in July.
The Korea Meteorological Administration on Monday forecast heavy rainfall in central parts on Tuesday and Wednesday, with 50 to 100 mm of rain on average, but some parts of the region are expected to see more than 150 mm of rainfall.
In contrast, southern parts including Daegu and Ulsan are expected to see clear skies and temperatures soaring to 33 degrees Celsius, according to the KMA. What is causing these stark divisions?
