As there will be no rain for a while, the hot and humid weather is set to continue throughout the week. The hottest temperatures of this year’s summer will arrive next week, with daytime highs in Seoul of around 36 C.

Clear skies will be seen across the country Wednesday, but the KMA will list fine dust levels as “bad” in parts of North Jeolla Province and the Gyeongsang region.
