Heatwave in most parts, passing rain in capital and Gangwon-do

Hope the heat didn't keep you awake overnight.

The muggy air lingered overnight, with Seoul recording only its 4th tropical night in June since records began.

A tropical night was also seen in places like Gangneung and Daegu.

In fact, the scorching heat will continue with heatwave alerts remaining in place for most parts of the country.

Expect scattered showers this afternoon in the capital area and Gangwon-do with 5 to 20 millimeters in the forecast, along with thunderstorms.

So the central region will be a bit cloudy, while the southern region sees more sunshine.

UV rays in Busan and Ulsan could reach the highest level, so stay safe.

By this afternoon, Seoul, Chuncheon, and Busan will reach 30 degrees, and Daegu a scorching 35 degrees!

Looking ahead, scattered showers are also expected tomorrow, and the hot weather is forecast to continue for the time being, with monsoon rain taking a break this week.

Stay safe and hydrated in this intense heat!
