Most parts under heatwave alerts, strong UV rays today

People in most parts of the country struggled to sleep through the night as the intense daytime heat refuses to dissipate.

Heatwave alerts are in place pretty much everywhere.

Following yesterday, Gangneung once again had a super tropical night, with the minimum temperature staying above 30 degrees Celsius, with an expected high of 37 degrees this afternoon.

Meanwhile, Seoul has also had its fourth consecutive tropical night.

Additionally, strong UV rays will be a concern throughout the day, so remember to take precautions.

Seoul will reach 32 degrees Celsius, Gwangju at 34 degrees, and Daegu and Gyeongju a blistering 36 degrees Celsius.

Upper parts of Korea will see scattered showers at times, which will only add humidity to the air.

Then, next week, the heat is expected to get stronger, with daytime temperatures in Seoul climbing to 34 degrees Celsius.
