Tropical nights, where the overnight minimum temperature stays above 25 degrees Celsius, are also occurring mainly along the southern coast and island regions. Yeosu, Heuksando·Hongdo, and Geomundo·Chodo have tropical night advisories in place.

The showers caused by atmospheric instability are expected to continue.

From now until the evening of September 2, 5 to 40 mm of showers are forecast for Gwangju and Jeollanam-do, with another 5 to 40 mm forecast from midday to evening on September 3 as well.

In areas where showers fall, intense rainfall of around 20 mm per hour may occur, accompanied by gusty winds and thunder and lightning.

Even with the rain, the sweltering heat will not let up easily. For the time being, the maximum apparent temperature in most parts of Gwangju and Jeollanam-do is expected to climb to around 33 degrees Celsius, with humid and stifling heat likely to continue.

A Gwangju Meteorological Administration official advised, "Visibility can deteriorate rapidly and roads may become slippery due to showers, so please be cautious with traffic safety, such as driving more slowly, and pay particular attention to preventing accidents. In addition, as daytime temperatures will remain around 33 degrees and tropical nights will be seen along the coast, please make sure to take precautions against heat-related illnesses and take care of your health."
