With this level of heat, there is a high likelihood of heat-related illnesses during outdoor activities.

It is advisable to refrain from outdoor work as much as possible during the scorching daytime hours.

You should also take care of your health by drinking plenty of water.

Looking at the current radar imagery, the skies across the country are clear like this.

Influenced by the high-pressure system, there are no clouds either.

Due to the influence of hot and humid air, apparent temperatures are also high.

With strong sunlight beating down in various places today, the ultraviolet index will rise to very high levels.

You will need to pay attention to sun protection.

In the southern part of Gyeonggi Province, Yeongseo, North Chungcheong Province, and North Gyeongsang Province, ozone concentrations, which are detrimental to the respiratory system, will run high.

Next week, the wind direction will shift to easterly, causing temperatures in Seoul to rise even further.
