Last night, the temperature in Seoul fell below 25 degrees. It has been 12 days since June 28 that there has been a break from the tropical night. However, the heat wave will continue, with the maximum temperature expected to rise to 36 degrees on the 11th.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the lowest temperature recorded from 6 p.m. the previous day until the morning of the current day was 24.6 degrees. As a result, the record of tropical nights lasting for 11 days has come to an end. A tropical night means that the temperature does not drop below 25 degrees from 6 p.m. the previous day until 9 a.m. the following day.
However, tropical nights are still ongoing in various regions across the country. This is due to the influx of easterly winds and the temperatures that have not dropped sufficiently overnight. In Jeju, the tropical night has continued for 11 days since June 30.
In addition, tropical nights were reported in the Chungcheong region, including Boryung (26.8 degrees), and in the Jeolla region, including Gangjin (26 degrees), Mokpo (25.7 degrees), Haenam (25.5 degrees), Jeongeup (25.2 degrees), and Boseong County (25.2 degrees).
In Seoul, which has escaped the tropical night, the daytime heat is expected to persist. The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts that the maximum temperature in Seoul will rise to 36 degrees that day. Daejeon is expected to record 34 degrees, while Gwangju is projected to reach 35 degrees.
