Heatwave Continues: Seoul Temperatures to Exceed 30°C with Scattered Showers

Seoul broke its record for the highest temperature of the year again yesterday (June 16).

However, until yesterday, the humidity remained relatively low, keeping the perceived temperature slightly lower than the actual air temperature.

Today, the perceived temperature will be nearly the same as or even slightly higher than the actual temperature in some areas.

Most regions will experience hot weather with temperatures exceeding 30°C (86°F).

Scattered showers are also expected in various places.

The rainfall is expected to range from 5 to 40mm, and some areas may experience heavy downpours accompanied by gusts of wind, lightning, and potential hail.

Rain is expected to continue in Jeju until tonight.

In other parts of the country, strong sunlight will shine through the clouds, and residents should be cautious of high ozone levels, particularly in the central regions.

Morning temperatures will start at 22°C (72°F) in Seoul, similar to yesterday, but it will feel muggy due to the somewhat high humidity.

Daytime temperatures will exceed 30°C (86°F) in most regions.

Showers are forecast for various inland areas through Thursday, and rain is expected in the southern regions and Jeju between Friday and Saturday.
