Yangsan Exceeds 40°C for Second Day... Extreme Heatwave Continues

Two high-pressure systems are firmly anchored in the upper and lower layers of the Korean Peninsula's atmosphere, causing the heatwave to persist.

In particular, the South Gyeongsang region, where a severe heatwave warning is currently in effect, experienced extreme heat again today (July 30).

Daytime temperatures in Yangsan exceeded 40°C (104°F) for the second consecutive day.

As this extreme heat can even threaten the lives of healthy individuals, outdoor activities should be avoided as much as possible.

Daytime temperatures in Yangsan are expected to soar to around 39°C (102°F) through the weekend.

Tropical night advisories are also in effect across various parts of the country.

Tomorrow's lowest temperature is expected to be 27°C (81°F) in Gangneung, while daytime temperatures tomorrow are projected to spike up to 38°C (100°F) in Changwon.

Next week, the wind direction is forecast to shift to easterlies, which is expected to intensify the heat in Seoul even further.
