The scorching heat shows no signs of cooling down even after sunset. Let's go live to the Han River Park in Yeouido, Seoul, where our weather caster is out.
Caster Ahn Su-jin, the sun seems to be setting, but is it still hot?
[Reporter]
The sun has gone down, but the heat remains relentless.
The temperature here right now is 28.3⃓ (83⃕).
Citizens are out at the Han River Park to temporarily beat the heat, and over here at the Plaza, children are splashing around in the water to cool off.
A tropical night advisory remains in effect for Seoul today (July 26).
A tropical night advisory is issued when the lowest nighttime temperature does not drop below 25⃓ to 27⃓ depending on the region.
Currently, tropical night advisories have been issued for most parts of the country, excluding some areas in Gangwon Province.
It is recommended to check your indoor temperature and use air conditioning or ventilate before going to bed.

Just how long is this heatwave going to last?
[Reporter]
The intense heat will continue for the time being as the influence of the North Pacific high pressure remains strong.
Based on Seoul, temperatures exceeding 33⃓ (91⃕) will persist through the day after tomorrow.
Shower clouds may also develop due to atmospheric instability.
Tomorrow, showers are forecasted mainly centered around the capital area and Gangwon Province, but after the showers stop, the humidity will rise, making it feel even more muggy and suffocating.
As the North Pacific high pressure expands, the monsoon season has effectively ended in South Korea, and there is no clear rain forecast for the time being.
