Sweltering Heat Continues Nationwide Despite 'Cheoseo'… Showers in Some Areas

Yesterday (August 22), the skies over the greater Seoul and Gangwon regions were heavily overcast with rain falling in some areas.

Today, the sky in Seoul is filled only with clouds.

Today is Cheoseo, the solar term that marks the easing of the heat. However, as the North Pacific high-pressure system expands further, a new heatwave advisory has been issued for Seoul, and heatwave warnings and advisories remain in effect in various regions.

Today, the perceived temperature in Seoul will climb to 33°C (91°F), while Miryang, which is under a heatwave warning, will feel as hot as 37°C (99°F), making it sweltering.

Hot weather hovering around 33°C (91°F) is expected to continue for the time being.

You will need to take good care of your health.

As surface temperatures rise during the day, atmospheric instability will intensify, leading to the development of sudden, heavy shower clouds in parts of the greater Seoul area, Gangwon, South Chungcheong, Honam, Gyeongnam, and Jeju today.

During the day, the ultraviolet index will rise to very high levels, centered around western regions.

Please take care to protect your skin from UV rays.

Tomorrow, shower clouds will develop mainly in the southern regions.
