As ipchu (the beginning of autumn) has passed, the intense heat has subsided almost miraculously.
This is because as Typhoon Dolphin moves, the hot and dry air that had been positioned in the upper atmosphere over South Korea temporarily retreated, and that space was filled with cold and dry air from the north.
Given how extremely hot it has been, some of you may have even felt a sense of coolness today (August 9).
However, this only means that the extreme heat wave has eased, not that the heat wave has completely retreated.
Heat wave advisories remain in effect for most parts of the country, excluding the east coast region.
For the time being, scorching weather with a perceived temperature of 33°C (91°F) or higher will continue, centered around the western regions.
You will need to continue taking care of your health.
The east coast region, affected by easterly winds, will see rain until tomorrow.
Rainfall of 20 to up to 60 mm is expected in the east coast region of North Gyeongsang Province, while other areas will receive anywhere from 5 to up to 40 mm.
Showers may pour down in parts of the east coast of North Gyeongsang Province and other areas of North Gyeongsang Province until this evening, and tomorrow the skies nationwide will be mostly cloudy.
Strong winds will blow in the Jeju region, which is under the influence of the typhoon.
Today in Seoul, tropical nights subsided for the first time in 18 days.
Tomorrow morning, the temperature in Seoul is forecast at 25°C (77°F), meaning tropical nights could return, and daytime temperatures are expected to reach 33°C (91°F) in Seoul and 32°C (90°F) in Daegu.
Looking ahead to later in the week, rain is forecasted again for the Yeongdong region.
