Intense heat remains for the south, spotty rain up north

Summer is certainly starting strong, and the heat is already quite intense.

The capital area could see some spotty rain, which could bring down the highs from yesterday's sweltering heat but the heat will persist in the southern regions, with many areas climbing above 30 degrees.

Meanwhile, parts of Jeju could see 5 to 20 millimeters of rain until this morning.

Meanwhile, the UV index is expected to be "very high" in most areas, except in the capital area where there'll be sprinkles of rain.

Gwangju will get up to 29 degrees with the highest level of UV rays this afternoon, so sun protection is a must!

Also, those in Daegu and Gyeongju will need to stay safe in the intense heat at a high of 33 degrees.

The latter half of the week will see more cloudy days.

And Saturday is looking like it will be rainy nationwide.

Warm weather will continue for the time being.

Please remember to take good care of your health.
