Stay Safe from the Heatwave: Tips, Warnings, and Updates for August 1st

2023-07-31 22:07:00

Today (August 1), the first day of August and Tuesday, will continue to be steaming hot with the maximum perceived temperature rising around 35 degrees while heat wave warnings are in effect in most parts of the country.

There are many places where tropical nights appear in the city center and coastal areas, so you should pay special attention to health care.

In particular, the elderly or those with chronic diseases who are highly likely to develop heat-related illnesses should drink enough water and salt and avoid outdoor activities between noon and 5 p.m.

Strong showers of around 30mm per hour accompanied by gusts, thunder, and lightning will come from the afternoon to evening in the metropolitan area such as Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi Province, as well as the inland and mountainous areas of Gangwon, Chungcheong, and Jeonbuk-dong. Expected precipitation is 5 to 60 mm.

If there is a strong shower in a short time, the water in the river can suddenly rise, so it is better to refrain from camping.
