[Weather] Extreme heat continues on this Jungbok

Today is Jungbok, the second of the three hottest days of summer in Korea, known as Sambok.

As this period marks the peak of summer heat, heatwave warnings are in place nationwide.

Even Taebaek in Gangwon-do Province, known as a "cool zone" due to its typically mild summer temperatures, is now under a heat advisory.

Mostly sunny skies will shine down again, but there is a chance of isolated showers this afternoon in the northern parts of Gyeonggi-do and parts of Gangwon-do with 5 to 30 millimeters in the forecast.

Many regions will see temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius this afternoon, Seoul and Daegu at 36 degrees Celsius, Daejeon at sweltering 38 degrees!

Hot, dry, and mostly clear weather will continue for the time being, with no significant rain in the forecast.

Remember to drink water even if you don't feel thirsty, your body needs water to regulate body temperature to cope with the heat.
