South Korea witnesses highest July temperatures amid persistent heatwaves
The nationwide average temperature for July reached 27.1°C (80.7°F), slightly lower than the record high of 27.7°C (81.8°F) set in July 1994, as reported by news sources citing the KMA.
The country faced 14.5 days classified as heatwaves, where daily maximum temperatures exceeded 33°C (91.4°F). This is the third highest number of such days for July, following 17.7 days in 1994 and 15.4 days in 2018.
Additionally, there were 6.7 tropical nights recorded last month, ranking as the fourth highest on record.
The extreme heat began early in the month, influenced by an unusually early arrival of the North Pacific high-pressure system, and was further intensified later by the Tibetan high-pressure system.
Despite the severe heat, South Korea saw 249 millimeters (9.8 inches) of rainfall in July, which is below the long-term average of 296.5 millimeters (11.6 inches) typically expected for the month.
