Today, Saturday, a heat wave warning is in effect in most regions, and the hot weather will continue.

According to the Korea meteorological Administration on the 16th, the maximum perceived temperature is expected to rise to around 33 degrees, and the heat wave will continue. The forecasted maximum daytime temperature is between 29 and 35 degrees.

As of 5 a.m. that day, the current temperatures are 25.6 degrees in Seoul, 25.7 degrees in Incheon, 24.8 degrees in Suwon, 22.9 degrees in Chuncheon, 27.5 degrees in Gangneung, 25.5 degrees in Cheongju, 25.2 degrees in Daejeon, 25.4 degrees in Jeonju, 24.9 degrees in Gwangju, 26.2 degrees in Jeju, 25.8 degrees in Daegu, 26.5 degrees in Busan, 24.7 degrees in Ulsan, and 25.5 degrees in Changwon.

The central region will occasionally be cloudy, while the southern region and Jeju Island will generally be clear. However, between late afternoon and evening, 5 to 20 mm of rain is expected to fall in the northeastern Gyeonggi Province and the northern inland of Gangwon. There may also be spots with less than 0.1 mm of drizzle until the morning in Incheon and northern Gyeonggi Province, as well as the middle and northern inland of Gangwon.

Bridges located along the coast (such as the Yeongjong Bridge, Incheon Bridge, West Sea Bridge, and Cheonsa Bridge) and roads adjacent to rivers, lakes, or valleys in the inland may experience thicker fog than the surrounding areas, so attention should be paid to traffic safety.

The sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.0 m in the East Sea's front sea, 0.5 to 1.5 m in the West Sea's front sea, and 0.5 m in the South Sea's front sea.

The wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are predicted to be 0.5 to 1.5 m in the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea.
