[Weather] Sticky summer heat with scattered showers

Brace for another day of sticky, summer heat!

Heatwave alerts have expanded to more regions and are active for most of the country.

And that means tropical nights and scorching daytime temperatures are here to stay, with a chance of showers popping up inland.

With all that heat building up during the day, the atmosphere can get a bit unstable.

That means we could see some sudden, unexpected showers in parts of Gangwon, Chungcheongbuk-do, and Gyeongsangbuk-do provinces with 5 to 30 millimeters of rain.

And this afternoon, Seoul gets up to 33 degrees Celsius, Gwangju and Daejeon at 35 degrees. Daegu at 36 degrees.

UV rays will be very strong in most regions; have your sun protection ready.

Temperatures are just going to keep climbing throughout this week.

Seoul's daytime high could reach scorching 36 degrees Celsius this Friday and Saturday!

Meanwhile, Jeju is forecast to see some rain this weekend.

Stay cool and safe out there!
