The walking path along Seoul's Dorimcheon stream is submerged as water levels rose on the 9th, when a flood watch was temporarily issued for the stream amid a heavy rain advisory in effect across Seoul.
A flood watch was issued that day for the areas around Sindaebang Station, Sillim Station, and Boramae Station near Seoul's Dorimcheon. It marks the first such warning since the Urban Flood Prevention Act took effect in 2024 and after an urban flood forecasting pilot project began this year targeting six districts in Seoul: Gangnam, Seocho, Gwanak, Guro, Dongjak, and Yeongdeungpo.
