Rescue teams have recovered one more body of a person who was swept away by floods caused by recent torrential rain, raising the total confirmed deaths to 47, according to the emergency services, Saturday.
The body of a man in his 60s was found in Yecheon, 161 kilometers southeast of Seoul, yesterday, they said.
But three still remained missing as of Saturday in the aftermath of the landslides and floods caused by the monsoon rain, which has pounded the country since early last week.
Around 2,000 of 18,000 evacuees in 15 cities and provinces still remain in shelters.
Meanwhile, rain of up to 100 millimeters is expected to drench South Korea again over the weekend, the state weather agency said.
A stationary front and low atmospheric pressure moving from northeastern China to North Korea are forecast to create humid heat in the South, bringing heavy rains across the country through Monday.
The greater Seoul area will receive 50 to 100 mm of rainfall over the weekend, while the northern Gyeonggi Province may see over 150 mm.
Precipitation is expected to range between 30 and 80 mm for inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon Province, and the central and southern regions. (Yonhap)
