[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] As the rain stops, the heatwave is expected to intensify again on the 12th.


According to the Korea Meteorological Administration on the 11th, the lowest temperature on the morning of the 12th is expected to be between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature during the day is expected to be between 25 and 32 degrees Celsius.


The expected lowest and highest temperatures in major cities are Seoul 24°C and 32°C, Incheon 24°C and 31°C, Daejeon 25°C and 32°C, Gwangju 25°C and 31°C, Daegu 24°C and 30°C, Ulsan 23°C and 28°C, and Busan 24°C and 29°C.


The rain that fell in various parts of the country on the 11th will continue intermittently until night.


For the time being, the perceived temperature will rise to around 31 degrees Celsius mainly in the western regions, bringing a heatwave. In particular, on the 12th, the east wind blowing from the high pressure system located over the East Sea North will hit the Taebaek Mountains, causing rain in the Gangwon Yeongdong area, and then as the air crosses the mountain range, it will become hot and dry, intensifying the heat in the western regions.


Because the sky will be cloudy, tropical nights are expected mainly in Honam and Jeju during the night.


When there are many clouds in the sky, radiative cooling is less active, so the temperature at night drops relatively less.


From Wednesday the 13th, the monsoon rain will return. On the 13th and 14th, rain will fall nationwide due to a low-pressure system developed along a stationary front activated over inland China and the influence of the stationary front moving from the central region to the southern region.



This rain is expected to start in the early morning of the 13th in the Seoul metropolitan area, central and northern Gangwon Yeongseo, and western Chungnam, then expand to Honam and Gyeongnam by the early morning of the 14th, and mostly stop by the morning of the same day.
