[Weather] After the Monsoon, Heat Returns... June 6 High Temperatures 26~34°C

On the 6th, when the monsoon temporarily retreats, the whole country is expected to experience clear and hot weather.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the monsoon rain stopped on the morning of the 5th, and on that day, daytime temperatures exceeded 31 degrees Celsius in various places, mainly in Gangwon, Jeonnam, and Gyeongnam. Tropical nights are also expected to occur mainly along the East Coast overnight.

On Thursday the 6th, the morning low temperature is expected to be between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 26 and 34 degrees Celsius. Daytime temperatures will rise above 31 degrees Celsius in most parts of the country.

In areas where heatwave warnings have been issued and are in effect, such as the inland southern Gyeonggi region, Gangwon, eastern Jeonnam, and Yeongnam, the perceived temperature during the day on the 6th will exceed 33 degrees Celsius, making it very hot.

The expected minimum and maximum temperatures in major cities are 23 and 31 degrees Celsius in Seoul; 23 and 29 degrees Celsius in Incheon and Busan; 22 and 32 degrees Celsius in Daejeon and Gwangju; 22 and 34 degrees Celsius in Daegu; and 22 and 33 degrees Celsius in Ulsan.

With strong sunlight, ozone levels will be high.

The National Institute of Environmental Research expects ozone concentrations on the 6th to be at a 'bad' level nationwide, except for Jeju.

Especially from noon to 3 p.m., when the sunlight is strongest, the ultraviolet (UV) index in the southern parts of the southern regions and Jeju will be at a 'dangerous' level. During the same period, most other regions will have a 'very high' UV index.

The UV index, which expresses the amount of ultraviolet radiation as an index, has five levels ranging from 'low' to 'dangerous.' The 'dangerous' and 'very high' levels correspond to UV intensity strong enough to cause skin burns after just a few tens of minutes of sun exposure.

In the central regions, daytime temperatures will rise above 31 degrees Celsius on the 7th as well, making it hot.

Jeju, the southern regions, and Chungcheong are expected to be cloudy with rain due to the northward movement of the stationary front, making the heat less intense compared to the central regions.

Rain will begin in Jeju from early morning on the 7th, spreading to the southern regions by the morning, and by night, it is expected to reach the southern part of Chungcheong as well. This rain is expected to continue until the 8th, with strong rain accompanied by gusts, thunder, and lightning forecasted especially in Jeju, Jeonnam, and Gyeongnam from the 7th through the morning of the 8th.

The strong lunar gravitational force will keep sea levels high until the 6th.

Since sea levels rise higher during high tide, the Korea Meteorological Administration advises particular caution along the East Coast in the afternoon of the 5th and daytime of the 6th, and along the South Coast and Jeju coast from the night of the 5th to the early morning of the 6th.
