Pyongyang, June 25 (KCNA) -- According to information from the State Hydro-meteorological Administration, this year's rainy season in the DPRK is anticipated to start in late June with much rainfall, which would be observed in most areas of the country.
On June 26, rain and shower will hit most areas of the country with its middle part and southward as the main and some inland areas of North and South Hwanghae and Kangwon provinces will have downpour and much heavy rainfall, due to the northern low pressure and the effect of changeable atmosphere.
