[Weather] Summer heat came back again from the afternoon with high UV rays

The last of the spring weather petered out over the weekend, and the summer heat has gradually returned from today.

The daytime temperature in Seoul rose to 26 degrees Celsius today, which is 3 degrees higher than yesterday.

Temperatures will rise day by day throughout the week, reaching as high as around 30 degrees in the latter half.

Strong ultraviolet rays were detected in most areas today due to the strong sunshine.

In particular, the UV index was reported as "very high" in the Seoul metropolitan area and Gangwon-do provinces where there was less cloud cover.

It is expected to reach very high across the country tomorrow afternoon.

Tomorrow morning, Seoul and Busan will start at 15 degrees Celsius, with Chuncheon and Gyeongju at 12 degrees.

Daily highs will move up to 26 degrees in Seoul, and 23 degrees in Busan and Jeju.

However, heavy showers are expected in eastern areas tomorrow and Wednesday.

That's all for Korea.
