South Korea Experiences Second Hottest July
The mean national temperature last month stood at 27.1°C (80.7°F), slightly below the all-time high of 27.7°C (81.8°F) registered in July 1994, a news agency conveyed, referencing the KMA.
The nation experienced 14.5 days of heat waves, which are defined as days where the maximum temperature surpasses 33°C (91.4°F).
This figure represents the third highest number of such days in any July, following 17.7 days in 1994 and 15.4 days in 2018.
In addition, South Korea logged 6.7 tropical nights throughout July, the fourth highest tally ever recorded.
A tropical night is when nighttime temperatures remain above 25°C (77°F).
The extreme heat conditions began early in the month, mainly due to the premature arrival of the North Pacific high-pressure system, and later escalated further as the Tibetan high intensified its presence.
Even with the unrelenting heat, South Korea witnessed 249 millimeters (9.8 inches) of precipitation during July, which is less than the long-term average of 296.5 millimeters (11.6 inches) typically observed for the month.
