Amid heat wave warnings in most regions nationwide, oppressive heat is expected to continue on the 2nd. Showers are forecasted in various places in northern Gyeonggi Province and northern Gangwon Province. The central region is generally cloudy, while the southern region and Jeju Island are expected to have occasional clouds.
The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted on the 2nd that the morning low temperatures nationwide would be between 23 and 28 degrees, and the daytime high temperatures would range from 26 to 36 degrees. The expected daytime high temperatures by region are 30 degrees in Seoul, 31 degrees in Busan, 35 degrees in Daegu, 32 degrees in Daejeon, 34 degrees in Gwangju, and 35 degrees in Gangneung.
With heat wave warnings issued for most regions nationwide, the highest perceived temperature is expected to hover around 33 degrees for the time being. Some areas in Gyeonggi Province and along the eastern coast and mountainous regions of Gangwon Province, as well as the southern region and eastern Jeju Island, are expected to approach 35 degrees.
In the northern inland areas of Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon, showers of 5 to 20mm are forecast, but they are unlikely to cool down the oppressive heat. The Korea Meteorological Administration predicted that after the rain stops, the temperature will rise again during the day in a high humidity state.
The concentration of fine dust is expected to be at a level of 'good' to 'moderate' across all regions.
