On Monday, the 10th, the heat will continue across most regions nationwide, with the apparent temperature rising to around 33 degrees Celsius. Rain is expected in certain areas, especially along the east coast of Gangwon Province and in the Yeongnam region.


Over the weekend, a northeasterly wind carrying moisture from the East Sea flowed in along the edge of a high-pressure system located in northeastern China, resulting in heavy rainfall on the east side of the Taebaek Mountains, including the east coast.
