South Korea is reeling from catastrophic flooding and landslides triggered by relentless heavy rainfall since July 16, 2025. The death toll has surged to 14, with 12 still missing, as nature's fury battered central and southern regions. In the resort town of Gapyeong, a deadly landslide buried homes, while floodwaters swept vehicles away.
Sancheong County alone recorded nearly 800mm of rainfall, leading to the evacuation of over 7,000 residents nationwide. The national weather agency has forecast the rain will cease by Sunday, but a blistering heatwave is set to follow. Experts warn climate change is intensifying these extreme weather events, pushing South Korea to the edge. As rescue teams scramble and damage assessments begin, authorities continue to urge caution. The tragedy underscores growing environmental risks as weather patterns become more volatile and unpredictable.
