Gwangju and Jeonnam are expected to continue experiencing intense heat and tropical nights for the time being. Swell waves are forecast to reach the Jeonnam coastline, resulting in high waves, so caution is needed to prevent safety accidents at beaches and other coastal areas.


According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on July 29, the morning low on July 30 is expected to range from 23 to 26 degrees Celsius, with the daytime high forecast to be between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius.


Waves in the seas off the west and south coasts are expected to reach up to 1.5 meters, while the concentration of ultrafine dust is expected to remain at a 'good' level.


The daytime high is forecast to reach 33 degrees in Sinan, Heuksando, and Mokpo; 34 degrees in Jindo, Muan, Hampyeong, Yeonggwang, Damyang, Jangseong, and Naju; and up to 35 degrees in Yeongam, Hwasun, and Gwangju.



An official from the Meteorological Administration stated, "There is a high possibility of heat-related illnesses, so outdoor activities and going out should be minimized." The official also emphasized, "Intense heat and tropical nights are expected to continue for the time being, and attention should be paid to the swell waves along the Jeonnam coastline."
