First 'Tropical Night' of the Year Occurs in Jeonnam

Mokpo·Yeonggwang·Yeongam·Muan·Haenam Areas

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The first tropical night of the year was observed in some areas of Jeonnam.

According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on the 30th, tropical nights occurred the previous day in Mokpo (25.7℃), Yeonggwang (25.6℃), Yeongam (25.3℃), Muan (25.1℃), and Haenam (25℃).

A tropical night is a phenomenon where the lowest nighttime temperature (from 6:01 PM to 9:00 AM the next day) remains at or above 25℃, meaning the temperature does not drop below 25℃ during the night. When a tropical night occurs, it is difficult for people to fall asleep due to the heat, so it is used as an indicator of heat.

This tropical night occurred 6 to 13 days later than usual due to continuous precipitation.

Compared to last year, tropical nights appeared 6 days later in Mokpo and Haenam, and 7 days later in Yeonggwang.

Due to the influence of the stationary front expected to bring rain until the 31st, the morning low temperatures in Gwangju and Jeonnam are expected to be around 21 to 24℃.
