With heat wave advisories in effect mainly for the greater Seoul area and the southern region, the maximum apparent temperature will rise to around 33 degrees for the time being.

For the time being, morning lows will be similar to or slightly below the average minimum of 21–24 degrees, and daytime highs will be similar to or somewhat above the average maximum of 28–32 degrees.
