Heavy downpours flooded homes, roads and farmland in central and southern South Korea on Tuesday, adding to the woes of regions already battered by a typhoon last week.

Up to 455 millimeters of rain fell in South Jeolla Province in the country's southwest on Monday and Tuesday, with more than 70mm falling an hour in some areas, according to the state weather agency.

The downpours came after Typhoon Soulik pummeled the regions last week. Local government officials said the typhoon and torrential rains caused at least 9 billion won ($8 million) in property damage in South Jeolla Province alone.

According to the Gwangju city government, overnight rains flooded 132 roads, 91 buildings, 46 homes and 34 vehicles. There were 10 landslides, farmland flooding, embankment damage and power outages, officials said.

The central city of Daejeon also reported damage from torrential rain overnight.

Officials said 30 cases of damage were reported as of 11 a.m., including flooding of homes, buildings, parking lots, roads and farmland.

The flooding also caused heavy gridlock on key roads during the morning rush hours. (Yonhap)
