Early Summer Heat Concentrated in Western Regions; Eastern Areas Remain Relatively Cool

The heat will not be too intense this week.

Early summer-like heat is expected mainly in the western regions, while the eastern regions will remain relatively cool.

Looking at the detailed daytime high temperatures for tomorrow, June 23, the eastern regions, shown in blue, will see temperatures stay below 25°C (77°F), offering a break from the heat.

This is because cold, dry air has moved into the Korean Peninsula behind the rain clouds that fell over the weekend, and a cold, humid northeasterly wind is blowing.

Tomorrow, the western region, including Seoul, will see temperatures rise to 30°C (86°F). Fortunately, the humidity is low, so the perceived temperature will not be very high.

Meanwhile, those in the central regions should be cautious of strong ultraviolet rays tomorrow.

In areas such as Seoul, Siheung in Gyeonggi Province, and Gongju and Gyeryong in South Chungcheong Province, UV levels are expected to reach the "danger" level, so it is recommended to stay indoors during the daytime if possible.

Meanwhile, the start of the monsoon season in Korea is being delayed this summer.

Looking at the position of the stationary front, it is currently located near Shanghai, China, and the possibility of the monsoon season beginning in Korea this week remains low.

Meanwhile, Typhoon Meari, the 7th typhoon of the season, which is moving northward near the Philippines, is expected to head toward the Japanese archipelago.

Tomorrow, up to 80mm of heavy rain is expected in Jeju until the night, and strong swells will continue to flow into the east coast until tomorrow.

Morning temperatures will be 19°C (66°F) in Seoul, slightly lower than today.

Daytime temperatures will rise to nearly 30°C (86°F), mainly in the western regions.

There is a forecast for rain in the east coast of Yeongnam and Jeju on Wednesday, and showers are expected in various inland areas on Thursday.
