The wildfires that started in Uiseong have been quickly east spreading almost to the beach, accompanied by strong winds and dry conditions that have exacerbated the situation.
The west is expected to receive some rain, but the majority of the affected areas are expected to receive less than five millimeters of precipitation.
At a lecture, Korea Forest Service Minister Lim Sang-seop stated that the amount of rainfall “is going to be small so it doesn’t seem like it’ll become a great help in trying to extinguish the fire.”
According to experts, the Uiseong hearth had an unusually large and rapid spread, and that global wildfires are expected to become more numerous and dangerous.
According to a report released by the Climate Central class, an independent system made up of scientists and researchers, higher temperatures that have been caused by human-caused climate change “turned clean landscapes into dangerous fire energy” in the region.
