Record Rainfall Hits Gwangju, Causing Severe Flooding

Gwangju, South Korea, experienced unprecedented rainfall, with over 400mm falling in just one day. This extreme weather event has led to significant flooding, affecting local businesses, including a Starbucks, where tables and chairs were seen floating in the water. The heavy downpour has raised concerns about the city's drainage capacity, which is only designed to handle 70mm of rain per hour. Experts attribute this drastic climate change to global warming, which has caused average temperatures to rise by 1 degree Celsius. The situation has sparked discussions about the need for improved infrastructure to cope with such extreme weather conditions.
