Amid increasing no. of heat wave days and tropical nights, what will summer look like this year?

2010년대부터 폭염, 열대야 일수 급증… 올해는 마른 장마와 함께 역대급 폭염 찾아오나?

Unlike the average summer, where heavy monsoon rain covers the Peninsula, as scorching heat takes over the country, this summer might be a bit different.
But what is usual is that people are looking for ways to beat the heat.
Our Ahn Sung-jin has this report.

Children splash their feet while some sit around to cool off from the heat.
Amid the sweltering heat wave in Korea, people have gathered to escape the heat.

"It's not raining, it's really sunny, and the water feels cold and nice."

"Even though it's the monsoon season, it wasn't raining, so I came here to cool down with my mom."

This summer has become known as a dry monsoon season.
Though some moments of showers were seen throughout June, this year saw less water but more heat.

Heat wave advisories have already been issued, and according to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the number of days with heat waves has hiked since the 1970s.
The average number of days with extreme heat in the 1970s was 8-point-3 days, which nearly doubled to 14 days in the 2010s, which again jumped to 16-point-7 days in the 2020s.
Though variables still exist, an expert from the Korea Meteorological Administration says that though the Peninsula is not experiencing a widespread monsoon, hot and humid conditions will persist, with the feel-like temperature to hover above 30 degrees.

"South Korea is currently experiencing intense heat and humidity due to the North Pacific high air pressure. Though some areas are seeing showers during the day due to atmospheric instability, the main monsoon front, which typically brings heavy season rain, is already up in China and North Korea. However, the air pressure system continues to linger over the Peninsula, with temperatures likely to climb into next week.

"The heat wave will continue in the coming days. But the KMA has said that it will have to keep an eye on approaching weather pressure patterns, temperatures, and other key factors to see whether the intense nationwide heat wave will hold steady or ease up.
