Extreme heat is expected today, with temperatures in Gyeongju and Yangsan—both under severe warnings—surging up to 38°C (100°F). Residents in these areas are advised to refrain from outdoor activities.
Current temperatures are hovering above 25°C (77°F) in most areas, signaling another night of tropical conditions.
During the daytime, temperatures will climb to 33°C (91°F) in Seoul, 35°C (95°F) in Gwangju, and 37°C (99°F) in Daegu, bringing sweltering heat.
Meanwhile, intermittent showers are expected across various parts of the country today.
Rainfall will range between 5 and 50 mm, so it would be a good idea to bring a small umbrella when heading out.

After showers in the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon Province tomorrow, there will be no rain in the forecast for a while.
The intensity of the heat is set to grow even stronger.
