[Weather] The Weekend Also Sizzles... Maximum Temperature Reaches 35 Degrees

On Saturday the 29th, most regions nationwide are expected to experience strong sunlight and high humidity, making it very hot.

According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, on the 29th, there will be occasional clouds across the country, and from afternoon to evening, some areas may experience showers accompanied by gusty winds, thunder, and lightning. Precipitation is expected to be around 5 to 40 mm.

After the showers stop, temperatures will quickly rise again, causing heatwaves, with many places, especially urban and coastal areas, experiencing tropical nights. As of 6 p.m. on the 28th, heatwave warnings have been issued for most of the country.

The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 22 and 26℃, and the daytime highs between 30 and 35℃. The expected low and high temperatures for major cities are Seoul 26℃ and 34℃, Incheon 26℃ and 32℃, Daejeon 25℃ and 35℃, Gwangju 25℃ and 34℃, Daegu 25℃ and 35℃, Ulsan 24℃ and 33℃, and Busan 26℃ and 33℃.

Attention should be paid to heat-related illnesses due to the hot and humid weather; it is advisable to stay well hydrated and replenish salts, and to avoid intense outdoor exercise. Additionally, fog is forecasted to be frequent mainly over the West Sea and South Sea for the time being, so caution is needed to prevent maritime safety accidents.

Fine dust levels are expected to be 'Good' to 'Moderate' across all regions due to smooth atmospheric dispersion. However, in Incheon and Ulsan, fine dust originating domestically is expected to accumulate due to stagnant air, causing temporarily 'Unhealthy' levels in the morning.

Sea waves are predicted to be 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the East Sea and West Sea nearshore waters, and 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the South Sea nearshore waters. In the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline), wave heights are expected to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 2.5 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the South Sea.
