Tropical Nights Across the Country; Monsoon Rain Returns on July 15

Sweltering heat continues throughout the day.

Even now that night has fallen, temperatures in Seoul remain around 30°C (86°F). There is a possibility that Seoul will experience its first tropical night of the year overnight tonight, July 11.

Currently, heat wave advisories are in effect for most parts of the country, excluding mountainous regions in Gangwon and northeastern North Gyeongsang provinces. In some areas, including Seoul, these have been upgraded to heat wave warnings.

Tropical night advisories have also been expanded to various regions nationwide.

In these areas, overnight low temperatures will not drop below 25°C to 27°C (77°F to 81°F).

Currently, two high-pressure systems are trapping heat over the Korean Peninsula like a blanket.

As a result, tomorrow's daytime high in Seoul is expected to reach 34°C (93°F), making it as hot as today.

Tomorrow afternoon, there will be occasional showers in the eastern part of Gyeonggi Province, inland Gangwon Province, Chungcheong Province, and North Jeolla Province. Rain is also expected in Jeju Island, South Jeolla Province, and the western part of South Gyeongsang Province. Monsoon rain is forecast to return across the country next Wednesday, July 15.
