Seoul also recorded 25.4°C (78°F), and another tropical night is expected in the city after 9 days.

Heat wave warnings, which had been issued mainly in the Chungcheong and southern regions, were expanded yesterday (the 23rd) to the greater Seoul area, including the capital, and will be further expanded and reinforced today.

It will be as sweltering as yesterday, with midday temperatures climbing to 36°C (97°F) in Yangsan and 33°C (91°F) in Seoul.

Looking at detailed daytime temperatures, Daegu and Gwangju are expected to reach 35°C (95°F), while Gangneung and Daejeon are forecast at 34°C (93°F).

As temperatures rise, the atmosphere will remain unstable, bringing occasional showers of 5 to 30 mm to various places today.

Skies nationwide will have occasional clouds today.

Rain is forecast for the central-northern regions the day after tomorrow, and for Jeju Island in three days.
