Clear skies and warm temperatures are forecast for South Korea from the weekend through early next week, with daytime highs expected to hover around 30 degrees Celsius (86 F).

For the time being, our country will be mostly clear as it comes under the edge or influence of a high-pressure system.

While some areas might experience lingering clouds and light rain on Friday, the eastward movement of a high-pressure system will bring sunny conditions and a noticeable temperature increase. Seoul is projected to reach a high of 31 C (88 F) on Sunday, with Daegu potentially hitting 33 C (91 F). This pattern is expected to continue into early next week, with temperatures remaining close to or exceeding 30 C.

The KMA advised the public to take precautions against the heat. "As daytime temperatures are expected to rise, please take care of your health," the agency stated.
