On the 22nd, the Korea Meteorological Administration announced that the minimum temperature in Seoul overnight had exceeded the tropical night threshold of 25 degrees Celsius, marking the first tropical night of the year.

 

This is seven days earlier than last year (June 28) and earlier than the previous record of June 26, 2022.

 

The Korea Meteorological Administration defines a tropical night as a night when the minimum temperature does not fall below 25 degrees Celsius from 6:01 PM to 9:00 AM the next day.

Today, although the weather will be mostly cloudy across the country, hot weather will continue in the metropolitan area.

 

In the northeastern part of Seoul and parts of Gyeonggi Province, heatwave advisories will be issued from 10 AM.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, starting today, the southern regions will experience monsoon rains due to a stationary front.

 

As of 8 AM, heavy rain warnings are in effect for Jeollanam-do and Gyeongsangnam-do, with a preliminary heavy rain advisory issued for Jeju Island.

 

The Korea Meteorological Administration stated, "Due to the influence of the stationary front, the weather will be mostly cloudy across the country, with strong and heavy rain expected mainly in the southern regions and Jeju Island."
