Why Is It Still Raining After Typhoon Bavi Dissipated? July 15 Weather
This article is based on the latest reports and official information available as of 2026-07-15 Korea Standard Time.
As of the morning of 2026-07-15, Typhoon Bavi, designated Typhoon No. 9, no longer exists as a typhoon.
The tropical depression that Bavi weakened into transitioned into an extratropical cyclone at July 14 3 p.m., bringing the Korea Meteorological Administration's related typhoon advisories to an end.
However, the disappearance of a typhoon's name does not mean that the surrounding rain clouds and strong winds immediately disappear as well. Intermittent rain may continue across various parts of the country through this afternoon, so it is important to check your local forecast before heading out.
At this point, checking current weather warnings and neighborhood-level short-term forecasts is more accurate than following the typhoon's former track.
Why Typhoon Bavi's Current Location Is No Longer Available
Searches for 'Typhoon Bavi track' and 'Bavi current location' remain common, but there is no longer an officially tracked typhoon center.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), the tropical depression formed as Bavi weakened transitioned into an extratropical cyclone. Once this transition occurs, official bulletins showing the typhoon number and projected track are discontinued.
The statement that 'the typhoon has dissipated' does not mean that the dangers of rain and wind have immediately ended.
If moisture flows associated with the former typhoon and the effects of the low-pressure system persist, rain clouds may continue to develop and winds may become strong even after the typhoon dissipates.
How Long Will Rain Continue on July 15?
According to the nationwide forecast issued by the KMA at 5 a.m., occasional rain may fall across various parts of the country from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. today.
Expected rainfall amounts by region are as follows.
Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi Province: 5~20mm
Inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon Province: 5~20mm
Daejeon, Sejong, South Chungcheong and North Chungcheong: 5~20mm
North Jeolla Province: 5~40mm
Gwangju and South Jeolla Province: 5~10mm
Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province: 5~30mm
Busan, Ulsan and South Gyeongsang Province: 5~10mm
Ulleungdo and Dokdo: 5~40mm
Jeju Island: 5~10mm
Even in areas with relatively low forecast rainfall totals, rain may become concentrated over a short period, and amounts may vary considerably between locations.
Areas Where Strong Winds May Be a Greater Concern Than Rain
According to the announcement issued at 6 a.m., strong wind advisories are scheduled to take effect in the mountainous areas of Gangwon Province, parts of the eastern coast of North Gyeongsang Province, and Ulleungdo and Dokdo. High-wave advisories also remain in effect for parts of the East Sea and South Sea.
In coastal and mountainous areas, people should be cautious of umbrellas turning inside out and objects such as tree branches and signs falling. Anyone planning to travel by passenger ferry or airplane should check the operating status of their service again before departure.
The areas covered by weather advisories and their effective times may change frequently, so check the latest announcements immediately before leaving.
What to Check Before Going Out, in Order
Searching only for the typhoon's name may bring up its former track, even though tracking has already ended. The following sequence is more useful when preparing to go out.
1. Check the KMA's typhoon information to see whether the advisory has been marked 'Ended.'
2. Check weather alerts for heavy rain and strong wind advisories affecting your residential area.
3. Check hourly rainfall forecasts in the short-term forecast for your local eup, myeon or dong (town, township or neighborhood).
4. If traveling by airplane or passenger ferry, check announcements from the relevant transport operator.
5. After the rain stops, check humidity and the feels-like temperature.
Some areas will continue to experience humid heat alongside the rain today. In addition to carrying an umbrella, it is advisable to bring drinking water and adjust prolonged outdoor activities according to the feels-like temperature.
Typhoon Bavi's current track is no longer being updated. The information you need today is not the typhoon's location, but the current rain and wind advisories for your area.
