Rainfall since Wednesday reached a record of more than 500 mm at Seosan, in the South Chungcheong province south of the capital, Seoul, it added.

Torrential rains that lashed South Korea for a fourth day on Saturday kept nearly 3,000 people from returning to their homes, while livestock were stranded up to the neck in rising waters as the death toll reached four with two missing, authorities said.
