The cause was the heavy rain that lasted from the evening of July 28.
The South will continue to have heavy rain in the coming days.

According to meteorological experts, the heavy rain in the South continues to last because the southwest monsoon is strong. The reason is that the sea east of the Philippines is experiencing a strong storm. According to the world's forecast models, this storm will not enter the East Sea, but due to its attraction, the southwest monsoon will continue to be strong, causing heavy rain in the coming days.
