You must be exhausted from the relentless heat wave continuing day after day.
Today, July 28, South Korea experienced sweltering and humid weather as hot and moist air flowed in along the edge of the North Pacific High.
Today, the Tibetan High in the upper atmosphere also expanded its influence toward our country, leaving high-pressure systems firmly established across the upper, middle, and lower layers of the atmosphere.
As this pressure pattern is expected to persist for the time being, heat wave advisories and warnings will be further intensified.
Starting tomorrow, the heat wave advisory for Seoul will be upgraded to a warning, and heat wave warnings will be expanded to cover most other parts of the country as well.
In regions such as Yangsan, Changnyeong, and Uiryeong in Gyeongsangnam-do, where severe heat wave warnings have been issued, temperatures approached nearly 40°C (104°F), with Yangsan hitting 39°C (102°F) today and expected to reach 38°C (100°F) tomorrow.
Seoul is also forecast to reach 34°C (93°F) tomorrow, with the sensible temperature expected to hit 36°C (97°F) due to high humidity.
Nighttime stifling heat will continue.
Tropical nights have persisted in Seoul for six consecutive days.
A tropical night is also expected again tonight.
Tomorrow's daytime temperatures will rise to 36°C (97°F) in Gangneung, 37°C (99°F) in Daegu, and 35°C (95°F) in Jeonju.
Heat waves and tropical nights are expected to continue through next week.
As there is no news of sufficient rain to temper the heat wave for the time being, you will need to take good care of your health.
