Extreme heatwaves are continuing.

The cause is that the Tibetan high pressure and the North Pacific high pressure, which create optimal conditions for rising temperatures, have formed a heat dome over the Korean Peninsula. In addition, as wind directions blow from west to east, record-high temperatures are being broken day after day in the inland areas of Gyeongsang.

Today, the daytime high in Yangsan reached 42.5°C (109°F), breaking the record for the highest temperature in South Korea ever recorded just a day after the previous record.

Starting tomorrow, the wind direction will shift from east to west, making the heat even more severe in parts of the western region, including Seoul.

As the heatwave is prolonged, you must take good care of your health so that you do not get exhausted by the heat.

Tomorrow's skies will be clear.

Between late afternoon and evening, sudden, heavy showers may pour in the southern inland areas of Gangwon and the northern parts of Chungbuk.

The heat continues day and night.

Tomorrow morning, temperatures in Seoul will start at 26°C (79°F), with tropical nights appearing in various places, while daytime temperatures will rise to 37°C (99°F) in Seoul, and a whopping 39°C (102°F) in Gwangju and Daegu.

Meanwhile, Typhoon Dolphin, the 13th typhoon, has expanded in strength and moved up to the waters near Okinawa, Japan.

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