On the 28th, as the severe heatwave continues day after day, a water spraying vehicle from Jung-gu Office in Seoul is roaming around Sejong-daero and the temporary screening clinic in front of City Hall to lower the urban temperature. The water spraying operation can reduce the heat island effect by decreasing the radiant heat from the road surface, and it is effective in preventing road surface deformation and removing fine dust.
