The daytime high in Seoul will reach 27°C (81°F), which is similar to average years.

Under clear skies, Gwangju will climb up to 30°C (86°F), resulting in a very wide temperature difference between day and night.

Looking at the current satellite imagery, the skies are somewhat cloudy, mainly centered around the central regions.

With clear skies today, UV rays will be very strong in the southern regions and Jeju Island, so you will need to pay attention to sun protection.

Checking the detailed daytime temperatures, Gangneung will reach 25°C (77°F), while Changwon and Busan will rise to 29°C (84°F).

Tomorrow, the daytime high in Seoul will be 25°C (77°F), making it a bit cooler than today.
