날씨: 장마 속 무더위

Depending on the regions, this year's monsoon arrived a day to a week later than average.
Up until now, the monsoon has mostly affected the southernmost part of the country,... because a cold front kept if from easily moving north.
Because of those cold air pockets, the rainy season is expected to enter a long pause this week as the monsoon front is pushed south.
As the rain clouds disappear, it'll get hotter in the northern parts of the peninsula, so keep an eye on the heatwave alerts.
Beijing is also expecting very hot weather while Tokyo will be cooler under rainy skies.
Morning lows for tomorrow will be similar to today,...
with Seoul waking up to 20 degrees Celsius.
There's a possibility of Jeju being influenced by the monsoon in the morning hours.
There will be a few clouds drifting in the afternoon but it will mainly be sunny,... with Seoul topping out to 31 degrees, while Chuncheon and Daegu go higher to 33 degrees.
The heat will hit its peak in the latter half of this week on a warm easterly wind.
And also, the monsoon front will move up again and drench the southern areas over the weekend.
I'll leave you with the weather conditions around the world.
