Extreme heat is persisting.

Yesterday (the 1st), Yangsan's daytime high soared close to 42 degrees, breaking the record for the highest temperature in the nation since meteorological observations began, just a day after the previous record.

Today, Yangsan's daytime high surpassed 42 degrees, breaking the record yet again.

This intense heat in eastern regions including Yangsan is driven by high pressure winds blowing from the West Sea toward the east.

Starting tomorrow, the wind direction will shift from the East Sea toward the west, making the heat even more severe in western regions such as Seoul.

As the heat wave prolongs, you need to take good care of your health to avoid heat-related exhaustion.

Relentless heat day and night will continue tomorrow as well.

Tomorrow morning, temperatures in Seoul will be 26°C (79°F) and Daegu will also be 26°C (79°F), with tropical nights appearing in various places. Daytime temperatures will rise up to 37°C (99°F) in Seoul, and 38°C (100°F) in Daegu and Changwon.

Tomorrow, ozone concentrations, which are bad for the respiratory system, will appear high.

You will need to take good care of your respiratory health.

Meanwhile, Typhoon Dolphin, the 13th typhoon, is located in the waters east of Okinawa, Japan.

We need to monitor it a bit longer to see if it will affect South Korea.
