Late-Stage Monsoon Rain Subsides as Scorching Heat Grips Nation

As the final phase of the monsoon rain takes a break, intense heat waves are sweeping across the country.

Extreme heat gripped the Yeongnam region, with daytime temperatures soaring to 34.8°C (95°F) in Pohang, where a heavy heat wave warning is in effect, and shooting up to a whopping 37.2°C (99°F) in Daegu.

Rain is expected to continue tomorrow, Saturday, July 25, in the greater Seoul area and Gangwon Province.

Between 5 and 60 mm of rain is forecasted, and much like today, it will frequently experience lulls.

Tomorrow, ultraviolet radiation will be very strong nationwide.

You should bring a parasol or a hat when engaging in outdoor activities.

Scattered showers are expected to pass through Chungcheong Province and Jeju Island tomorrow from morning until evening.

Following the monsoon rain that will continue until next Monday, July 27, full-scale sweltering heat is set to arrive.
