Heatwave at its peak this weekend _ 070519

날씨: 주말 폭염 절정

Seoul saw its highest temperature readings so far this season,... and heatwave warnings have been issued in most parts of the nation.
For more details, let's turn to our Michelle Park at the weather center, Michelle?
Heatwave warnings are in effect in Seoul and the surrounding regions today,... with the capital seeing the highest reading of the season at 35 degrees Celsius.
The heatwave will intensify, especially for the western part of the peninsula tomorrow, fueled by warm and dry winds.
We can expect Saturday to be as hot as today or even hotter so please take care of yourselves if you are planning a weekend outing.
The nation will be under mostly clear skies tomorrow,... however, the eastern regions may see isolated showers in the evening.
At the same time, Beijing and Tokyo will be a lot cooler with highs in the mid-twenties with continuous rain.
The morning temperatures are on the rise.
Saturday morning in Seoul will kick off at 23 degrees Celsius and slightly lower into the southern areas.
Busan and Jeju will start off at 21 degrees.
Hot temperatures will persist,... with Seoul and Chuncheon expecting a high of 35 degrees, while Busan and Jeju linger around 27 degrees.

Heat-related illness are on the rise across the nation, and the weather is expected to stay grilling hot until next week before the monsoon front brings in another bout of rain to the country.
So, I advise you to stay hydrated by drinking water often,... and don't spend too much time under the sun.
I'll leave you with the weather conditions around the world.
