Scorching Heat Continues with Scattered Showers

[Weather] Yesterday (June 15), the temperature in Seoul reached 32.6°C (91°F), marking the hottest day of the year so far.

Today, temperatures are expected to climb to 33°C (91°F), breaking the record for the highest temperature of the year once again.

As the scorching heat around 30°C (86°F) is expected to continue for the time being, please ensure you stay hydrated and dress in light, breathable clothing.

Due to atmospheric instability, scattered showers of 5 to 20 mm are expected this afternoon in parts of northeastern Gyeonggi Province, the inland mountainous regions of central and northern Gangwon Province, and parts of the Honam region.

In Jeju, 5 to 20 mm of rain is expected to fall until early tomorrow morning.

Across the rest of the country, excluding Jeju, skies will be partly cloudy today.

Ozone levels are expected to be high in most regions this afternoon.

In particular, residents in the northern part of Gyeonggi Province should be cautious, as ozone levels are expected to reach the "very unhealthy" range.

Currently, temperatures in most regions are starting off mild at around 20°C (68°F).

Midday highs will reach 31°C (88°F) in Chuncheon and Daegu, and 32°C (90°F) in Daejeon and Gwangju, similar to yesterday.

Showers are forecast for inland areas across the country tomorrow, and more rain is expected in Jeju toward the end of the week.
