[Weather] Bright skies and sweltering heat

Good Friday afternoon... Now that the rain has tapered off in most regions,, the capital is seeing bright skies... And all heavy rain alerts have been lifted...
Instead, high temperatures have set in... Last night, it was above 25 degrees in Daegu...The worst part of this hot weather is that there is very little relief even at night... So stay cool and hydrated...

Wet conditions have markedly improved,,, Now heat alerts have been issued in Gangwon-do, Chungcheong-do provinces and southern regions... And highs are 5 to even 8 degrees higher than yesterday... The UV index is very high all across the country during peak hours... Factor that in if you're planning outdoor activities...

You will need an umbrella over the weekend,,, as the rain will be on and off across the country mainly in and around the Seoul metropolitan area, with up to 120mm forecast... And the next rain system will be active from Monday,, which is predicted to produce even more downpours...

Have a great weekend and enjoy your holiday, let's take a look at the worldwide weather conditions...
