The temperature in Seoul will reach 33 degrees Celsius in the daytime, with the highs elsewhere ranging from 32 C in Incheon and Busan to 37 C in Daegu.
The weather agency advised people to take extra care to avoid heat-related illness such as heatstroke or exhaustion, as the sweltering summer heat continues. It advised people to wear sunscreen and sunglasses, long-sleeved shirts and hats when outside.
Fine dust levels will remain “good” in most parts of the country throughout the day, except in Busan and Ulsan, where the particles are projected to linger.
