[Weather] Relentless hot weather with peak heat this weekend

The heat is really ramping up here in Korea.

As you can see, heatwave warnings are now active in most regions, we're certainly in for a stretch of searing hot weather.

This intense heat is actually expected to climax this coming weekend.

The reason behind this escalating heatwave is quite significant both the North Pacific High-pressure system and the Tibetan High-pressure system are extending their influence over the Korean Peninsula.

Furthermore, the simultaneous movement of three typhoons from the south is sending hot air into our region.

And today, there will be nothing but sunshine with UV rays to be very strong in the entire country.

Western regions will be hotter through the weekend with a high of 37 degrees in the capital and Daejeon, 35 in Daegu.

And due to the indirect effect of that typhoon mentioned earlier, Jeju will experience strong winds and rain this weekend, stay safe if you plan to be near the water.
