**Unpredictable Monsoon Patterns: East Asia Faces Strange Weather Shifts**

Recent climate changes have disrupted historical rainy patterns in East Asia, prompting concerns among locals and scientists alike.


The monsoon season in South Korea and Japan is increasingly unreliable, as climate change is making summer rainfall patterns less predictable.

The typical monsoon season for South Korea has historically brought weeks of heavy rainfall, yet many residents are opting to leave their umbrellas at home, as inconsistent weather patterns unfold. Choi Moon-hee, a 43-year-old Seouler, reflects on her experience of being unprepared for a sudden downpour, the first since the season officially began. “In the past, rainfall would last for at least half a month and we would often rely on our umbrellas,” she shares, noting the discrepancies in the current forecast.

Reports indicate that the rainy season is already being declared over in various southern regions of the country, and Japan observed its earliest end to the rainy season since records began in late June. Traditionally lasting from mid-June to mid-July, scientists attribute these unexpected changes largely to climate change, which has impacted weather patterns globally. The monsoon shifts are not limited to South Korea and Japan but are also evident in regions like India and China, where millions have faced severe floods and droughts as a result.

Experts caution that ongoing climate changes threaten to destabilize established weather patterns, leaving millions unprepared for what nature brings next. With summer rainfall becoming less certain, communities across East Asia must brace for an uncertain future as weather becomes increasingly erratic.
