Hot days and nights over the weekend, relief next week

Let's begin with some welcome news.

Rain early next week will bring a slight break from the ongoing heatwave, especially to the western regions.

But that means another steamy weekend.

This morning, Seoul once again broke the record for the most tropical nights in the month of July, with 23 sweaty nights.

And of course, August is starting off under sweltering heat as well.

Meanwhile, some parts of Gangwon-do Province have seen those warnings downgraded or even lifted, including in Taebaek.

The rest of the country will sleep in the heat again.

Seoul begins the day at 27 degrees, Jeju warmer at 28 degrees.

By the afternoon, Seoul will get up to 35 degrees, Daegu and Gyeongju will see a high of 37 along with very strong UV levels.

Expect some scattered showers in parts of Gyeonggi-do and Gangwon-do provinces tomorrow.

Until that rain relief comes, take care in this extreme heat!

That's Korea for you, here's a look at the international weather conditions.
