Heat Wave to Subside This Week; Up to 80mm of Rain Expected in Jeju

The heat will not be as intense this week.

Early summer-like temperatures are expected, mainly in western regions.

Following the rain clouds from last weekend, cool and dry air has moved into the country. Combined with a cool and humid northeasterly wind, daytime temperatures in eastern regions will remain below 25°C (77°F) today, feeling relatively cool.

On the other hand, temperatures in western regions, including Seoul, will rise to nearly 30°C (86°F).

However, as humidity levels are not high, the perceived heat will not be significant.

Today (June 23), the ultraviolet index will be very high in the central regions. In particular, Seoul is expected to reach the "danger" level for UV radiation, so it is advisable to stay indoors if possible.

Jeju Island will see up to 80mm of rain, and strong swells are expected along the east coast through today, so caution is advised.

Looking at the detailed temperatures, Seoul will start at 19°C (66°F), slightly lower than yesterday, and daytime highs will climb to near 30°C (86°F) primarily in western regions.

Rain is forecast for the east coast of the Yeongnam region and Jeju on Wednesday, and there is a chance of showers in various inland areas on Thursday.
