This morning, the holiday on Sunday, August 9, feels somewhat cooler than the early part of the week.
Even now, temperatures remain below 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) in many areas mainly across the central regions. Seoul recorded 24.6 degrees Celsius (76.3 degrees Fahrenheit), giving a brief pause today to the tropical nights that had continued for a long stretch of 17 days.
Looking at the current heatwave warning status, all severe heatwave warnings have been lifted.
However, heatwave advisories remain in effect for regions excluding the east coast.
Today, highs in Seoul and Daejeon will reach 34 degrees Celsius (93 degrees Fahrenheit), about 2 to 3 degrees lower than yesterday. Gangneung will stay cooler throughout the day at 26 degrees Celsius (79 degrees Fahrenheit).
While light rain is currently falling mainly centered around the east coast of Gangwon Province and Jeju Island, heavy showers may pour in the mid-southern east coast of Gangwon and the northern east coast of Gyeongsangbuk-do until this morning.
Heavy rain totaling over 80 mm is expected to continue mainly along the east coast through tomorrow.
Meanwhile, inland areas elsewhere can expect around 5 to 60 mm of sudden showers in the afternoon.
For the time being, special caution is needed regarding rough seas and swells across all waters.
