Seoul High Reaches 29°C... Late-Summer Heat to Continue Through Weekend

As easterly winds cross over the mountain ranges, daytime heat is appearing in western regions.

Today (September 18), the daytime high in Seoul is expected to reach 29°C (84°F), a temperature equivalent to late August, making it somewhat warm during the day.

On the other hand, eastern regions directly affected by the easterly winds will see lower temperatures, with Daegu hovering around 25°C (77°F).

For the time being, typical autumn weather with large temperature gaps between cool mornings and evenings and warm days will continue.

You should take good care of your health by dressing appropriately for the time of day.

Currently, under the influence of a pressure trough passing through the waters south of Jeju, rain is falling in some parts of the southern coast of Gyeongsangnam-do.

The rain is expected to continue until tomorrow morning.

Looking at the expected precipitation, anywhere from 5 to 40 mm of rain is forecasted for the eastern coast and mountainous areas of Gangwon-do, the southern eastern coast of Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, and Jeju.

Today, waves will run high mainly around the southern and Jeju waters.

Vessels navigating or operating in these areas need to exercise special caution.

There are no significant rain forecasts for the time being.

Strong autumn sunlight will beat down.
