The heat wave continues to grip the nation, influenced by high pressure and intense sunlight. On the 16th, temperatures soared significantly, particularly in the Yeongnam region. Daegu recorded a high of 33.2°C, while Gimcheon reached 34.8°C, marking the hottest day of spring so far.
Temperature Predictions for the Coming Days
The rising temperatures are expected to persist through early next week. Seoul is forecasted to experience daytime highs around 30°C, with Daegu set to reach 33°C tomorrow and a peak of 34°C on Monday.
Impact of Weather Conditions
Alongside clear skies, the intense sunlight is leading to elevated ozone levels in the afternoons. It’s advisable for residents to limit outdoor activities during peak hours to avoid high ozone exposure.
Current Weather Patterns
Satellite imagery shows clear skies nationwide, primarily influenced by high pressure over the west coast. Tomorrow, similar clear conditions will persist across the country. However, thick fog with visibility under 200 meters is expected overnight along the southwestern coast of Jeonnam.

- By midday, highs of 31°C in Gangneung and 32°C in Gwangju are anticipated, indicating significant temperature variations.
- Rain is expected to arrive Wednesday afternoon, continuing into Thursday morning, which may help alleviate the ongoing heat.
