Seoul under hottest temps in decades
- 6 years ago
Yesterday, here in Seoul, was the second-hottest day in 24 years.
It got up to 38-point-3 degrees Celsius. But today is probably going to be even hotter... with a high of 39 degrees.
Our weather caster Lee Jee-hyun is now at Gwangwhamun Square in downtown Seoul, a place normally full of tourists and office workers.
Jeehyun, thank you for braving the heat out there for us. How are you coping,... and what are we looking at today, heat-wise?
Good morning. Today is surely not a day to be outdoors. It's only just after 10 in the morning but already temperatures have reached _____ degrees Celsius. With record breaking temperatures expected this afternoon here in Seoul, people are advised to stay indoors,
Have we not had enough of this heat? It's forecast to be the hottest day in the 111 years since weather records started back in 1907. Expected daytime highs of 39 degrees Celsius here in the capital and that's much higher than we often see in Seoul so be prepared for the heat.
Not only Seoul but most parts of the country will see boiling heat, and you might want to add a couple of degrees to the actual digits due to the blazing sunshine and high humidity.
Heatwave warnings are in place across much of the country, uncomfortable heat during the day lingers through the night...causing people to wake up at least couple of times to turn the AC on...
Highs in Seoul and Chuncheon will reach 39 degrees Celsius, Daegu and Gwangju will top out at 38 degrees.
Many are asking me if the heat will ease up, sorry, this heat will continue to bake the nation for a while longer.
Drink plenty of water, take it easy and wear sunglasses and sunblock to protect yourself from the strong sunshine.
That's all for now, but I will have more updates on our later newscast.
