More than a month's worth of rain in 24 hours hit South Korea mid-July, but the torrential rainfall is not showing any signs of slowing down. 

The rain that pounded much of the country over the weekend and Monday are expected to continue, putting authorities on high alert to further damage to regions that have already seen significant casualties and property damage.

At least six are dead and several are unaccounted for since the rains began, as heavy rain prompted flash floods and landslides. The month is supposed to be Korea's monsoon season, but other factors prolonged the rainfall.

The combination of a typhoon, the North Pacific High and pockets of cold, dry air moving in from the north is locking the monsoon front in the middle of the country, making this year’s rainy season one of the longest on record, the Korea Meteorological Administration said Monday.

Typhoon Hagupit, which started from southeast of Taiwan as the fourth typhoon of the year, was approaching mainland China as of Monday morning. It is not expected to have a direct impact on the Korean Peninsula, but has prompted heavy packs of rain clouds to form in the regions.

Weather warnings for multiple regions of South Korea.

As of 9 a.m. Monday, the national weather agency had issued heavy rain warnings and advisories for most regions including Seoul and Gyeonggi-do, so the rainfall is expected to continue.
