The intensity of the heat wave is fierce.

With heat wave warnings in effect across the entire country, excluding some mountainous areas in Gangwon Province, today (the 27th), the perceived temperature in Seoul will reach 34°C (93°F), and in the Yeongnam region, where a serious heat wave warning is in effect, the perceived temperature will soar to as high as 38°C (100°F) in some places.

Day and night heat will continue to rage throughout this week.

As the likelihood of heat-related illnesses is high, you must take care of your health by frequently drinking water.

Although the monsoon season has practically ended, you should still carry a small umbrella when going out.

Today, loud and sudden showers will pour mainly in the central and Gyeongbuk regions.

While temperatures may drop temporarily when the showers fall, it will become even more muggy and stifling after the rain stops due to high humidity.

Strong ultraviolet rays will beat down in various places this day.

You will need to pay attention to UV protection.

No clear rain forecasts are issued for the time being, but you should keep in mind that sudden shower clouds could develop.
