[Weather] Scorching heat in the western parts of the country this week

Today, Seoul recorded the hottest temperature this year, with daytime temperatures soaring to 36 degrees Celsius under a heat wave warning.

If the temperature reaches 37 degrees, it is likely to be the hottest day in early July ever recorded in Seoul.

The east coast and the coastal areas of the Gyeongsang-do provinces, which were hotter than human body temperature until yesterday, are expected to be able to get out of the scorching heat for a while from today.

In particular, the temperature on the east coast, including Gangneung, is expected to drop below 30 degrees Celsius from today, and stay under 30 degrees until later this week.

Tomorrow morning, Seoul will start warm at around 27 degrees, Daejeon and Busan 24 degrees.

Daily highs will move up to 34 degrees in Chuncheon, 35 degrees in Daejeon.

Severe heat waves and tropical nights in the western parts of the country are expected to continue until later this week.

That's all for Korea. Here are the weather conditions around the world.
