Late-Summer Heat Persists as Daytime Temperatures Rise; Daegu Hits 30°C

Today, Monday (September 14), lingering late-summer heat is expected.

Morning temperatures started out cool, mostly hovering around 20°C (68°F).

As the day warms up, the daytime temperature in Seoul will reach 27°C (81°F), about 3 degrees higher than yesterday afternoon.

In Daegu, the high will climb all the way to 30°C (86°F), bringing hot conditions.

People should take precautions against the large temperature swings.

Influenced by the edge of a high-pressure system located over northern China today, skies in the central regions will be filled with clouds.

Meanwhile, the southern regions will enjoy clear skies.

As a result, ultraviolet index levels in various parts of the south will surge to very high levels.

Additionally, ozone concentrations, which are detrimental to the respiratory system, are expected to run high today, primarily centered around the western regions.

Looking closer at daytime temperatures by region, the highs will rise to 26°C (79°F) in Daejeon and 30°C (86°F) in Changwon.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, rain is forecasted only for the Gangwon east coast region.
