Tropical Nights Blanket Jeju Coasts; Seogwipo Low Hits 27.9°C (82.2°F) Overnight

Tropical nights, where temperatures remain at or above 25°C (77°F) overnight, hit coastal areas across Jeju Island.

According to the Jeju Regional Meteorological Administration today (August 31), the lowest temperatures recorded from the previous evening until 6:00 a.m. today were 27.9°C (82.2°F) in Seogwipo (southern part), 27.4°C (81.3°F) in Jeju (northern part), 26.6°C (79.9°F) in Gosan (western part), and 26.5°C (79.7°F) in Seongsan (eastern part).

The cumulative number of tropical night days by location this year stands at 52 days for Jeju, 50 days for Seogwipo, 43 days for Gosan, and 37 days for Seongsan.

However, because tropical nights are calculated based on the lowest temperature recorded from 6:01 p.m. the previous day to 9:00 a.m. the following day, records may change if temperatures drop below 25°C (77°F) before 9:00 a.m. today.

A tropical night advisory is currently in effect for the coastal regions of Jeju.

The weather agency forecasted that tropical nights will likely continue in some areas for the time being, with overnight lows staying around 27°C (80.6°F) along the coasts.
