[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Today, the daytime high temperatures in most regions will exceed 30 degrees Celsius. The heat is expected to continue throughout this week.


As of 11 a.m. on the 8th, the Korea Meteorological Administration announced the issuance of heatwave advisories for parts of Gyeonggi, Gangwon, Chungcheong, as well as North Gyeongsang and North Jeolla provinces, including Daegu and Daejeon. A heatwave advisory is issued when the daily maximum perceived temperature is expected to be 33 degrees Celsius or higher for two or more consecutive days.


On this day, the daytime high temperature is expected to soar up to 35 degrees Celsius in Daegu and the inland areas of North Gyeongsang. Areas such as Danyang in North Chungcheong and Yeongdong are expected to reach up to 34 degrees Celsius. Seoul will be 31 degrees, and Daejeon 33 degrees. The heat will continue tomorrow (the 9th) as well. The Korea Meteorological Administration announced that a heatwave advisory will be in effect in Seoul as of 11 a.m. that day. Most regions are expected to be 1 to 2 degrees higher than today. Seoul is expected to reach 33 degrees, and Daejeon 34 degrees.



In the Jeju area, rain is forecast from midweek. On the day after tomorrow (the 10th), light rain is expected due to the influence of a low-pressure system. Later in the week, rain is expected to fall in the southern regions including Jeju due to the influence of a stationary front. Although the stationary front affects the area, it is too early to definitively determine the monsoon season timing for the central and southern regions. A Korea Meteorological Administration official said, "As the stationary front moves north and south, the areas experiencing rain may expand or shrink," adding, "Since the timing of rainfall is irregular, it is difficult to conclude that the monsoon season has officially started in the central and southern regions."
