Extreme Heat Continues with Highs Reaching 39°C in Seoul, Yeoju, and Jeonju; Rain Expected on East Coast Tomorrow

Today is Ippchu, the solar term marking the transition into autumn, and severe heat will persist, particularly in western regions.

High temperatures in Seoul, Yeoju, and Jeonju are expected to soar up to 39°C (102°F).

However, starting this weekend, the high-pressure system sitting over the Korean Peninsula will shift slightly to the northwest, easing the most extreme heat somewhat.

Even so, heatwave-level weather will continue, so please take good care of your health.

Rain is forecast for the eastern coastal regions tomorrow and the day after.

In particular, heavy rain of over 150mm is expected to concentrate in the mountainous areas of Gangwon Province and the east coast of Gangwon Province.

Tomorrow, Saturday, sudden and heavy showers are expected in various places, including Seoul.

The ultraviolet index will reach very high levels in most areas today.

Ozone concentrations are also expected to reach very poor levels, centered around the western regions.

Rain in the eastern coastal regions will continue until Monday.
