I heard that the sky conditions in the central and southern regions will be quite different today?
Yes, that’s correct. Firstly, the sky in the central regions will be cloudy today.
In Seoul and metropolitan areas until the morning, and in the northwest until the afternoon, scattered showers are expected. The amount of rainfall will be around 5-10mm, increasing humidity.
On the other hand, the southern regions will have clear skies, with many places experiencing a ‘very high’ level of ultraviolet rays.
When going out, be sure to apply sunscreen for UV protection.
Tomorrow, the central regions may receive occasional rain due to the influence of a low-pressure trough. The southern inland areas will have passing showers tomorrow and the day after due to atmospheric instability. The relentless heat is expected to continue for the time being.
Have a pleasant day today!
