Weather: Intense Heat Subsides This Week; Caution Advised for Strong UV Rays

There will generally be no major concerns regarding intense heat throughout this week.

For the time being, cool and dry air will remain in the upper atmosphere, keeping temperatures at levels typical for this time of year.

Today (June 9), the daytime high in Seoul is expected to reach 27°C (81°F), but because humidity levels are not high, you will be able to escape the heat in the shade.

However, the ultraviolet index will be very high during the day.

You should take extra care to protect yourself from UV rays until 3:00 PM.

While skies across the country will be mostly clear today, light showers of around 5mm are expected in the southern parts of Gangwon Province, mountainous regions, and the northeastern mountainous areas of North Gyeongsang Province.

Also, until this morning, strong swells will be hitting the coasts of Jeju, the southern coast, and the east coast, so please be cautious of safety accidents in coastal areas.

Morning temperatures will be 16°C (61°F) in Seoul and 13°C (55°F) in Chuncheon, which is slightly lower than yesterday.

Daytime temperatures will rise to 27°C (81°F) in Seoul and 29°C (84°F) in Daegu and Gwangju, making it feel warm.

Rain or showers will frequently occur in the Gangwon region for the time being, and there is a forecast for rain in Gyeonggi Province and northern Gangwon Province on Wednesday.
