Daejeon sits inland in central South Korea, where the summer jangma monsoon front and occasional typhoon remnants both contribute to a rainy season concentrated between late June and September.
Sitting on the Gap Stream in central South Korea, the city closely tracks the stream’s level whenever the jangma front stalls overhead. Local rivers can rise quickly when the jangma front stalls overhead for several days in a row, and radar helps track individual heavy bands within what is otherwise a long, steady rain event.
