Morning Chill to Give Way to 34-Degree Heat and Tropical Nights in South Korea

South Korea is bracing for a notable temperature swing on Tuesday, June 11th. While morning temperatures will dip to as low as 19 degrees Celsius in some areas, the daytime will see a return of the heat, with highs climbing to 34 degrees Celsius.

Heatwave advisories continue to be in effect across most of the country. The apparent temperature is expected to hover around 33 degrees Celsius, and some regions will continue to experience tropical nights, where overnight temperatures remain above 25 degrees Celsius. This pattern suggests a continued period of intense summer weather.

The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts morning lows between 19 and 25 degrees Celsius and daytime highs ranging from 27 to 34 degrees Celsius. While morning temperatures will be near or slightly below average, daytime temperatures are expected to be near or slightly above average for this time of year.

Central regions are expected to be mostly clear, while southern areas and Jeju Island will likely experience overcast skies. The strong midday sun in central regions could cause temperatures to rise rapidly. Coastal areas, including the southern and eastern shores and the northern coast of Jeju Island, should exercise caution due to high waves reaching 2 to 4 meters and strong winds. Additionally, strong rip currents may affect coastal areas, prompting warnings for those near the sea.
