[Weather] Relentless heat continues, welcome relief on the way next week

We're in the midst of a record-breaking heatwave.

Seoul has now experienced a tropical night for 13 consecutive days, while Seogwipo on Jeju Island has had 17 straight.

Heatwave warnings remain in effect across most of the country.

Today seems to be a repeat of yesterday's conditions.

A bit of cloud coverage was welcome in the capital area yesterday, but blazing sunshine will shine down nationwide today, boosting UV levels to very high levels.

By the afternoon, Seoul and Daegu will climb to 36 degrees Celsius, Gwangju and Chuncheon getting up to 35 degrees.

Some welcome news! A change is on the way.

Rain next week will bring daytime temperatures to the low thirties in the capital area.

Until then, if you're feeling drained from the ongoing heat, I mean who isn't take it easy, slow down your pace, and don't forget to drink plenty of water.
