Scattered Showers Amidst Heatwave; High Humidity Brings Muggy Conditions

It was another very hot day today, Tuesday, June 16, wasn't it?

As the scorching heat continued, primarily in western regions, the daytime high in Seoul exceeded 33°C (91°F), marking yet another record for the highest temperature of the year.

However, because we were under the influence of dry air today, the perceived temperature was about 2°C (4°F) lower than the actual temperature.

The situation will be a bit different tomorrow.

With temperatures across most of the country expected to exceed 30°C (86°F), the influx of humid air from the south will cause the perceived temperature to be similar to or even slightly higher than the actual temperature in some areas.

Additionally, scattered showers are expected across the country tomorrow, which will further increase humidity in some regions.

Precipitation is expected to range from 5mm to a maximum of 40mm. Please be cautious, as some areas may experience gusts of wind, lightning, and even hail.

Next, let's take a look at the satellite imagery.

While skies were clear across the country today, it was cloudy with rain in Jeju.

Rain in the Jeju region is expected to continue until tomorrow night. In other parts of the country, there will be scattered showers from the morning through the night, and under generally cloudy skies, ultraviolet rays will be strong.

Ozone levels will also be high, particularly in the central regions.

Looking at the temperatures in detail, the morning low in Seoul will be 22°C (72°F), similar to today, but it will feel muggy due to the somewhat higher humidity.

Daytime temperatures will exceed 30°C (86°F) in most regions, making it hot.

There will be scattered showers in some areas through Thursday, and rain is forecast for the southern regions and Jeju between Friday and Saturday.
