Scorching Heat Continues with Scattered Showers; High Humidity Expected

It has been another very hot day today, Tuesday, June 16.

As the scorching heat continued, particularly in western regions, the daytime temperature in Seoul exceeded 33°C (91°F), marking a new high for the year for consecutive days.

However, today was influenced by dry air, which kept the perceived temperature about 2 degrees lower than the actual temperature.

The situation will be different tomorrow.

With temperatures across most of the country expected to exceed 30°C (86°F), the influx of humid air from the south will cause the perceived temperature to be similar to or slightly higher than the actual temperature in some areas.

Additionally, scattered showers across the country tomorrow will further increase humidity in some regions.

Rainfall is expected to range from 5 to 40mm, and caution is advised as some areas may experience gusts of wind, lightning, or even hail.

Next, let's look at the satellite imagery.

While skies are clear across the country today, it is cloudy with rain in Jeju.

Rain in the Jeju region is expected to continue until tomorrow night, while the rest of the country will see scattered showers from the morning through the night, with strong ultraviolet rays under mostly cloudy skies.

Ozone levels will also be high, mainly in the central regions.

Looking at the temperatures in detail, the morning low in Seoul will be 22°C (72°F), similar to today, but it will feel muggy due to the somewhat higher humidity.

Daytime temperatures will exceed 30°C (86°F) in most regions, making it hot.

Scattered showers are expected in some areas until Thursday, and rain is forecast for the southern regions and Jeju between Friday and Saturday.
