A heatwave warning is issued when the highest perceived temperature exceeds 35 degrees Celsius for two or more consecutive days or when significant damage is expected due to the heat.

Currently, most of the country is generally clear with lingering late summer heat. The morning low temperatures are forecasted to be between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius, and the daytime highs between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius, which is higher than the average (morning lows 15?21 degrees Celsius, daytime highs 25?28 degrees Celsius).

In most regions nationwide, the highest perceived temperature will rise above 33 degrees Celsius (above 35 degrees Celsius in some areas), making it very hot. For the time being, tropical nights are expected in some urban areas, the west coast, the south coast, and Jeju Island, so attention to health management is necessary.
