South Korea braces for warm, clear Friday with temperatures reaching 30°C

South Korea is set for a pleasant Friday as skies clear across the nation, ushering in early summer-like temperatures. The Korea Meteorological Administration forecasts daytime highs to reach between 23 and 30 degrees Celsius, with the Gyeongsang region expected to see the warmest conditions.

While mornings will remain relatively cool, around 15 to 20 degrees Celsius, the sunshine will drive temperatures up significantly by the afternoon. Major cities like Seoul will see a high of 27 degrees, Busan 29 degrees, and Daegu 28 degrees. Some areas might experience brief morning showers before the skies fully clear.

The air quality is expected to be good to moderate across the country. Looking ahead, temperatures are predicted to stay close to the seasonal average, with highs around 22 to 28 degrees Celsius. On Saturday, southern parts of the country could again experience temperatures nearing 30 degrees Celsius.
