Temperatures to Soar Above 30°C on Local Election Day; Caution Advised for Afternoon Showers and High Ozone Levels

Tomorrow, June 3, the day of the local elections, will be hot with daytime temperatures exceeding 30°C (86°F) in most parts of the country.

Morning low temperatures are expected to range from 15°C to 20°C (59°F–68°F), while daytime highs are forecast to reach between 24°C and 32°C (75°F–90°F).

With midday temperatures climbing above 30°C (86°F) in most regions, the perceived temperature in inland areas is expected to reach around 31°C (88°F).

In particular, ozone concentrations are expected to be high in most regions during the afternoon as sunlight triggers photochemical reactions with air pollutants.

The National Institute of Environmental Research predicts that ozone levels will be at a "bad" level tomorrow in the Seoul metropolitan area, inland Gangwon, Chungcheong, Honam, Daegu, Gyeongbuk, and Gyeongnam provinces.

From tomorrow afternoon to evening, showers are expected in inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, as well as in North Chungcheong, inland Honam, and inland Gyeongsang provinces.

Precipitation is forecast to be 5–40 mm in inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, and 5–20 mm in other regions.
