[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] On Tuesday the 9th, the whole country will be mostly clear due to the influence of a high-pressure system located over the East Sea.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the perceived temperature will rise above 31 degrees Celsius in most inland areas nationwide, making it hot. Additionally, a heatwave advisory has been issued for central inland areas, Gyeongbuk, northern inland Jeonbuk, and northern inland Jeonnam, including Seoul, which recorded the highest temperature this year (maximum temperature of 32 degrees Celsius). It is expected to be very hot with perceived temperatures rising above 33 degrees Celsius in many places until the day after tomorrow (the 10th).

The morning minimum temperatures are expected to be △Seoul 20°C △Daejeon 20°C △Daegu 20°C △Busan 20°C △Jeonju 20°C △Gwangju 19°C △Chuncheon 19°C △Gangneung 24°C △Jeju 20°C △Ulleungdo and Dokdo 21°C.

The daytime maximum temperatures are forecasted to be △Seoul 33°C △Daejeon 34°C △Daegu 35°C △Busan 27°C △Jeonju 34°C △Gwangju 33°C △Chuncheon 33°C △Gangneung 31°C △Jeju 27°C △Ulleungdo and Dokdo 26°C.

According to the National Institute of Environmental Research, fine dust levels will range from 'good' to 'moderate' across all regions. However, in southern Gyeonggi, Chungbuk, Jeonbuk, and some inland areas, concentrations are expected to be higher in the morning due to stagnant air.

The Korea Meteorological Administration urged, "It will be very hot until the day after tomorrow, so please refer to the heatwave impact forecast and take special care to manage personal health and prevent damage to agriculture, livestock, and industry."
