First 'Heatwave Warning' of the Year in Eastern Jeonnam Region

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The first 'heatwave advisory' of the year has been issued for the eastern region of Jeonnam.

The Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration announced at 11 a.m. on the 4th that a heatwave advisory would be in effect for the eastern Jeonnam region (Suncheon, Gwangyang, Gurye, Gokseong).

Warm air is flowing in from the southwest of Korea, and strong solar radiation during the day has caused the daily maximum apparent temperature to rise above 33℃ in parts of eastern Jeonnam, prompting the issuance of the heatwave advisory.

Clear weather is expected to continue until the 5th, and on the 6th, relatively cool east winds will flow in, preventing daytime temperatures from rising enough to meet the heatwave advisory criteria. However, until the 9th, daytime maximum temperatures around 30℃ are expected in Gwangju and inland Jeonnam, making it hot.

A representative from the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration advised, “In areas where the heatwave advisory has been issued, please drink plenty of water and avoid intense outdoor activities during the day as much as possible.”
