Temperatures to Reach 34°C Tomorrow, Expected to Break This Year's Record

Scorching heat exceeding 30°C (86°F) has continued since the weekend.

Today, June 15, the daytime temperature in Seoul climbed to 32.6°C (91°F), marking the hottest day of the year so far.

However, the forecast predicts temperatures will rise to 34°C (93°F) tomorrow, likely breaking the record for the highest temperature of the year once again.

The intense heat, which was concentrated in western regions today, was caused by strong sunlight combined with warm southeasterly winds.

This phenomenon is expected to continue tomorrow. While areas east of the Taebaek Mountains will remain relatively cool at around 25°C (77°F), western regions including Seoul will see temperatures climb to around 33°C (91°F).

Nevertheless, because humidity is still low, the perceived temperature will be lower than the actual temperature.

Due to atmospheric instability, there is a forecast for rain showers in the northern part of Gangwon Province and the Honam region tomorrow.

Meanwhile, an ozone advisory was issued for the Seoul metropolitan area and South Chungcheong Province today.

Ozone levels are expected to be high again tomorrow afternoon, mainly in western regions. In particular, levels in the northern part of Gyeonggi Province are expected to reach the "very unhealthy" range, so those with respiratory sensitivities should refrain from going outdoors.

Looking at the satellite imagery, clear skies are visible between the clouds today.

Clear skies are also expected between clouds tomorrow, and ultraviolet radiation will be very strong.

Let's look at the morning temperatures.

Seoul will start the morning at 21°C (70°F), which is slightly higher than today.

Daytime temperatures will rise above 30°C (86°F), mainly in western regions.

There is a forecast for showers in inland areas the day after tomorrow, and the heat exceeding 30°C (86°F) is expected to continue for the time being.
