Weather: Temperatures Return to 30°C (86°F)... Mostly Sunny for the Time Being

The heat, with temperatures hovering around 30°C (86°F), has returned.

Today, Sunday, June 14, the daytime high in Seoul exceeded 31°C (88°F), reaching levels typically seen in early August. This warmer-than-average weather is expected to continue for the time being.

Due to cold air lingering in the upper atmosphere, atmospheric instability is high.

Earlier today, heavy downpours occurred in various western regions, leading to the issuance of heavy rain advisories in some areas.

Sudden showers may continue until late tonight.

When these showers occur, they will be accompanied by gusts of wind, thunder, and lightning, and hail may fall in some locations.

Please keep in mind that showers are possible tomorrow, mainly in the southern inland regions.

Let’s take a look at the satellite imagery.

Today, the country was under the influence of the edge of a high-pressure system located over the waters east of Japan, resulting in partly cloudy skies nationwide.

Tomorrow, we will be under the influence of the edge of a high-pressure system moving from the West Sea to the East Sea, leading to mostly clear skies across the country.

About 5mm of rain is expected in the Jeju region until early morning, and dense fog is expected in western regions during the morning commute.

Please take precautions for traffic safety.
