[Tomorrow's Weather] Scorching Heat in Broad Daylight... Up to 35 Degrees

On the 18th, the whole country will be mostly clear, and the highest apparent temperature will rise above 31 degrees Celsius in most areas, making it hot. The highest apparent temperature in the southern inland areas of Gyeonggi, eastern Jeollanam-do, and the Gyeongsang region will be around 33 degrees Celsius, even higher.

The morning low temperature is forecasted to be between 15 and 24 degrees Celsius, and the daytime high temperature between 27 and 35 degrees Celsius. For the time being, most areas nationwide except Jeju Island will be under the influence of high pressure, so the morning temperature will be similar to that of the 17th.

The daytime temperature will gradually rise compared to the 17th, with many inland areas exceeding 30 degrees Celsius, making it hot. Some inland areas in Jeollanam-do and the Gyeongsang region may see temperatures rise above 33 degrees Celsius.

In the morning, dense fog with visibility less than 200 meters is expected along the southern Gyeonggi West Coast and northern Chungnam West Coast, so caution is advised for traffic safety during the morning commute.

Fine dust concentration will be at 'Good' to 'Moderate' levels nationwide due to smooth atmospheric dispersion. Sea waves will be 0.5 to 1.0 meters in all coastal waters including the East Sea, West Sea, and South Sea. The wave heights in the offshore waters (about 200 km from the coastline) are predicted to be 0.5 to 1.5 meters in the East Sea, 0.5 to 1.0 meters in the West Sea, and 0.5 to 2.0 meters in the South Sea.
