, “[Herald Economy= Reporter Son In-kyu] The end of this summer’s heat wave is unpredictable. Wednesday, which is Malbok, the 14th, is expected to be very hot, and the heat wave is expected to continue for some time.”,
,
, ‘The easterly winds blowing from the area of high pressure centered in the East Sea have slightly lowered temperatures on the East Coast. However, intense heat continues in the western part of the Baekdu mountain range. In Okcheong-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, the daytime temperature rose to 38.7 degrees Celsius, nearly reaching 39 degrees.’,
,
, “The air becomes hot and dry after passing over high mountains. This is due to the phenomenon of ‘adiabatic compression,’ where the air is compressed as it descends along mountain slopes. When the easterly winds blow over Korea, the heat intensifies in the western part of the Baekdu mountain range due to this phenomenon.”,
,
, ‘The morning low temperatures on the 14th are expected to range from 21 to 27 degrees Celsius. Tropical nights are expected to occur overnight in western regions including Seoul and coastal areas.’,
,
, “If Seoul experiences a tropical night tonight, it will tie with the second longest tropical night record (1994) since modern weather observations began in Seoul in 1907. The longest recorded continuous tropical night in Seoul was from July 21 to August 15, 2018, at 26 days, but there is a high probability that this record will fall to second place.”,
,
, ‘There is a high possibility that Incheon, which continues its tropical night for the 21st day, and Busan, which experienced tropical nights for the 19th consecutive day, will also see changes in their continuous tropical night records.’,

,
, ‘The afternoon high temperatures on the 14th are expected to range from 29 to 35 degrees Celsius. The heat index will rise to around 35 degrees Celsius in most areas.’,
,
, ‘The expected low and high temperatures for major cities on the 14th are Seoul 27 and 35 degrees, Incheon 27 and 34 degrees, Daejeon 25 and 35 degrees, Gwangju 25 and 34 degrees, Daegu 23 and 33 degrees, Ulsan 24 and 31 degrees, Busan 26 and 33 degrees.’,
,
, “The Korea Meteorological Administration expects the heat wave to continue for some time. This is due to a high-pressure system in the upper atmosphere that continues to cover the Korean Peninsula. The current high-pressure system that brought about the heat wave is expected to persist, as the high-pressure system situated over the East Sea, blocking the movement of typhoons passing to the east of Japan, remains in place.”,
,
, ‘According to the mid-range forecast announced by the Korea Meteorological Administration on the morning of the 13th, temperatures from the 16th to the 23rd are expected to be in the range of 23-27 degrees Celsius in the morning and 30-34 degrees Celsius in the afternoon, slightly higher than the average temperatures for this time of year. When the lower atmospheric air becomes hot during the daytime, localized showers are expected to fall in some areas, with the possibility of temperatures briefly dropping during showers before rising again.’,
,
, ‘On the 14th, from the afternoon to the night, showers of 5-60 mm are expected in the Seoul metropolitan area and inland areas of Gangwon, and 5-40 mm showers are forecast for Chungcheong and Honam regions.’,
