It's still May, but yesterday (23rd) was the hottest day in Seoul, recording a high of 30.7 degrees Celsius.
There will be more areas where the temperature will rise today than yesterday.
As you can see, the daytime temperature will exceed 30 degrees centered on the inland, and in the southern regions it will rise close to 35 degrees Celsius in some places.
Fortunately, the humidity is still not high, so it will not be stuffy, but you should wear cool clothes.
Clear skies play a part in causing the temperature to rise significantly.
As summer approaches, the intensity of this sunlight is getting stronger, and the amount of time you are exposed to it is getting longer, so avoid outdoor activities during the day when the sun is strong and apply sunscreen thoroughly.
Today, it will show a very bad level of ozone concentration nationwide, and dust will accumulate all day in Busan, Daegu, and Ulsan.
The current temperature in Seoul is 17.8 degrees, Cheongju is 18.1 degrees, and Daegu is 22.8 degrees.
On Thursday, there is a rain forecast centered on the central region, and as this rain falls, the high temperature phenomenon is expected to subside.
