According to the Gwangju Regional Meteorological Administration on July 13, heat wave and tropical night alerts have been issued for all of Gwangju and Jeollanam-do, except for some island regions. Through tomorrow (the 14th), the daytime maximum perceived temperature is expected to reach around 33 degrees Celsius, resulting in very hot conditions.

During the night, many areas will experience tropical night conditions, where the temperature does not drop below 25 degrees Celsius. On the following day, July 15, rain is expected, which may lower the maximum perceived temperature during the day to around 31 degrees Celsius. However, hot weather is still forecast to continue.

For the time being, morning minimum temperatures are expected to remain higher than the seasonal average (21–22 degrees Celsius), while daytime maximum temperatures will be similar to the normal range (26–30 degrees Celsius).

There is also a chance of rain amid the heat. Until tomorrow morning, some eastern areas of Jeollanam-do may see rainfall. From tomorrow afternoon through the afternoon of the following day, occasional rain is also expected in parts of Gwangju and across Jeollanam-do.

In addition to changes in ground weather, meteorological conditions over the sea and along the coast are expected to deteriorate significantly. Currently, strong wind advisories are in effect for Heuksando and Hongdo, while a high seas warning has been issued for the far southern part of the West Sea.

The Meteorological Administration has announced preliminary strong wind advisories for eight cities and counties along the west coast, including Mokpo, Shinan, Muan, and Yeonggwang, effective from early tomorrow morning, as well as a preliminary high seas advisory for the nearshore southern part of the West Sea. In the morning, strong wind advisories will be extended to all southern coastal areas, including Yeosu, Gwangyang, Suncheon, and Wando, and preliminary high seas advisories will be issued for the southwestern and eastern distant seas.

An official from the Gwangju Meteorological Administration stated, "Special care should be taken to prevent flooding in low-lying coastal areas and damage to facilities," and added, "As the heat wave continues, infants and the elderly should avoid outdoor activities and ensure adequate hydration to stay healthy."
