Chuseok is over, but how long will the heat last?… If the temperature rises by 1 degree, ‘this’ increases by 13%” />ⓒYonhap News
Today, Thursday, the weather will continue to be hot since Chuseok, and it may rain in some places.
According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, a heat wave warning has been issued for most of the country, and the highest perceived temperature will rise to 33-35 degrees, making it very hot.
Rain will fall occasionally in Jeju Island from the morning, and in the afternoon, starting with the Jeonnam coast, the central region (excluding the Gangwon east coast), Jeonbuk, and Gyeongsang provinces.
The expected precipitation is 50-60mm in the metropolitan area and Gangwon-do, 5-40mm in Chungcheongbuk-do and Gyeongsang-do, and 5-20mm in Daejeon, Sejong, Chungcheongnam-do, and Jeolla-do. Jeju Island is expected to see heavy rain of 30mm per hour.
The lowest temperature in the morning is 22-27 degrees, and the highest temperature in the afternoon is 28-35 degrees.
The lowest morning temperatures by major region are 26 degrees in Seoul, 26 degrees in Incheon, 24 degrees in Chuncheon, 24 degrees in Gangneung, 25 degrees in Daejeon, 25 degrees in Daegu, 26 degrees in Jeonju, 25 degrees in Gwangju, 27 degrees in Busan, and 27 degrees in Jeju.
The highest daytime temperatures are 33 degrees in Seoul, 32 degrees in Incheon, 31 degrees in Chuncheon, 29 degrees in Gangneung, 34 degrees in Daejeon, 34 degrees in Daegu, 35 degrees in Jeonju, 34 degrees in Gwangju, 33 degrees in Busan, and 32 degrees in Jeju.
Fine dust concentration is expected to be ‘good’ to ‘normal’ across the country.
Meanwhile, as the unusual autumn heat wave continues, research results showing that rising temperatures can have a negative impact on mental health have drawn attention.
A joint research team including Catholic University of Korea analyzed approximately 220,000 people and found that for every 1℃ increase in temperature compared to the average year, the number of people complaining of depressive symptoms increased by 13%.
“As temperatures rise, the likelihood of experiencing depressive symptoms increases in adults aged 19 to 40,” the research team said. “More research is needed on the long-term impacts of climate change on mental health to determine effective responses to climate change,” they advised.
In hot and humid weather, getting enough rest is the most important thing to avoid feeling depressed.
Tropical nights can make it easy to lose sleep, but if you take a half-body bath in warm water for 15 to 20 minutes before going to bed, your fatigue will be relieved and you will feel comfortable, making it easier to fall into a deep sleep.
It is also good to cheer yourself up with a cup of warm tea. Jasmine tea is effective in regulating energy and relieving chest tightness.
