[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] On Wednesday the 21st, the daytime high temperature in Seoul will rise to 36 degrees Celsius, making it very hot.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasted that on the 21st, the whole country will be mostly clear, with morning low temperatures ranging from 20 to 26 degrees Celsius and daytime high temperatures from 28 to 36 degrees Celsius.

Heatwave warnings will be issued for most regions nationwide, and tropical nights are expected in major cities, the West Coast, the South Coast, and Jeju Island. The western regions affected by easterly winds will experience very hot conditions with maximum temperatures reaching up to 38 degrees Celsius.

The KMA advised, "There is a high possibility of heat-related illnesses, so it is important to consume sufficient water and salt, and to refrain from outdoor activities or going out. Since there is a risk of livestock deaths, attention should be paid to controlling the temperature in animal shelters, and long hours of farm work or working alone should be avoided."

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' nationwide due to favorable atmospheric dispersion.

Fog will form in some inland areas from dawn to morning, so caution is needed for traffic safety. Dense fog is expected in some inland areas from dawn until morning, and strong winds will blow on Jeju Island.

Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the East Sea nearshore, 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the West Sea nearshore, and 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the South Sea nearshore.
