On the night of the 6th, people in Busanjin-gu, Busan, at Busan Citizens’ Park are jogging lightly to cool off and beat the heat in the evening heat that continues through the tropical night. Despite entering the autumn season with the beginning of Chubun on the 7th, the heat wave and tropical nights continue. Photo by Jung Jong-hoi jjh@,

, ‘Busan’s tropical night has been continuing for the 22nd day, setting a new record for the longest duration of tropical nights. The number of consecutive days of tropical nights in Busan reached 21 days until the 14th, tying the records set in 1994 and 1998, but it has surpassed them.’,
,
, ‘According to the Busan Regional Meteorological Administration on the 16th, the tropical night in Busan that started on the 25th of last month has been continuing for 22 days until the 15th. The temperature did not drop below 25 degrees from 6:01 p.m. on the 15th to 9:00 a.m. on the 16th. As of 6:20 a.m. on the 16th, the lowest temperature in Busan was 26.3 degrees, and it did not drop below 25 degrees by 9:00 a.m.’,
,
, ‘During weather observations, the most recent records take precedence. That’s why even though the 21-day duration of Busan’s tropical night on the 14th tied the records set in 1994 and 2018, it was recorded as the new number one record. However, with Busan’s tropical night continuing for the 22nd day, the record of the longest duration of tropical nights is completely renewed without the need for the rule of prioritizing the most recent records. The saying, “Busan’s heat will subside after Liberation Day,” seems to have no effect as the heat wave continues unabated.’,
,
, ‘The record for Seoul’s longest duration of tropical nights has also been broken. Since the 21st of last month, Seoul has been experiencing tropical nights for 26 consecutive days. This matches the record set in 2018, making it the new number one record this year. Like Busan, there is a high possibility that Seoul’s record will be broken again.’,
,
, ‘The weather in Busan will continue to be hot over the weekend. On the 17th, the temperature in Busan will range from 26 to 32 degrees, and in Ulsan from 24 to 31 degrees, with the lowest temperature in Gyeongsangnam-do at 22 to 25 degrees and the highest at 32 to 34 degrees. On the 17th, showers of 5 to 40 mm are expected in the western inland areas of Gyeongsangnam-do from the afternoon to late night.’,
