Today, the last day of the holiday, the autumn heat wave will continue.
The weather is expected to be unstable, with showers expected to pass, but the heat wave is expected to ease with rain later in the week.
Let’s find out more with weather forecaster Yoo Da-hyun from the Weather Science Department.
hello,
I think this is the first time I’ve experienced such a hot Chuseok.
You said today was midsummer weather?
[캐스터]
Yes, the ‘chu’ in Chuseok means fall.
This year, the weather is so hot that I think it could be called ‘Ha-seok’, with the summer ‘ha’ added to it, rather than ‘Chuseok’.
Yesterday, we had the hottest Chuseok tropical night ever, and today, we also had tropical nights in many places.
This morning, the temperature in Seoul rose above 25 degrees Celsius to 26.5 degrees Celsius, and in Busan to 27.4 degrees Celsius, resulting in a tropical night.
Heat wave warnings have also been gradually expanded and strengthened.
Special situation, let’s take a look at it together in graphics?
Currently, a heat wave warning has been issued for most regions except Gangwon-do.
In particular, the heat wave warning area where temperatures are expected to exceed 35 degrees has expanded to the Yeongnam region, and a heat wave warning has now been issued for the Chungcheong and southern regions.
Today, the daytime temperature in Gwangju, Jeonju, and Daegu will rise to 34 degrees.
Seoul will also be hot, with temperatures still hovering above 30 degrees at 31 degrees.
High risk of heat-related illnesses.
Please drink water regularly even if you are not thirsty.
It is recommended that you refrain from outdoor activities.
[앵커]
Do you need an umbrella today?
[캐스터]
Yes, we may suddenly see a shower today too.
I think you’ll need an umbrella.
Northern Gyeonggi and northern Gangwon until the morning, Chungcheong and Gyeongbuk until the evening,
Other regions will see showers from morning to evening.
It will come down loudly, with gusts of wind and lightning.
Especially in the south, 20 to 30 millimeters per hour,
Other areas are also expected to see heavy showers of up to 20 millimeters per hour.
The expected amount of rain showers is 5 to 30 millimeters in the central region, 5 to 40 millimeters in the southern region, and 5 to 20 millimeters in Jeju Island.
Please refrain from camping in valleys or rivers as the water level may suddenly rise.
Please be aware of the risk of electric shock and car engine failure in flooded areas.
[앵커]
After a long five-day holiday, many people will return to their daily lives tomorrow.
What are some ways to overcome the post-holiday blues?
[캐스터]
After a long holiday and returning to daily life, some people complain of symptoms such as lethargy, fatigue, and indigestion.
Typical post-holiday symptoms include lethargy, loss of motivation, fatigue, depression, indigestion, low-grade fever, weight gain, and headache.
In particular, there are survey results showing that the most common symptom is lethargy.
Usually, the post-holiday blues will go away within a week, but to get over the post-holiday blues faster, it is helpful to adjust your sleeping and eating habits.
It is recommended to go to bed 1-2 hours earlier than usual.
Also, it is best to avoid making any plans such as company dinners or late night drinking parties for a week after returning.
Because it acts as a disruption to aligning one’s biological rhythm.
And many people turn to caffeinated beverages like coffee because they have trouble concentrating after returning to work.
When we become dependent on caffeine, it actually robs our bodies of the opportunity to wake up.
It is known that a hormone called cortisol is secreted in our body between 8 and 9 in the morning.
Therefore, it is better not to drink coffee during the time when hormones are secreted.
[앵커]
Lastly, please give us your outlook for the remaining weeks.
[캐스터]
Yes, it was a Chuseok holiday where fall really disappeared.
You may be wondering how long this heat wave will last.
Fortunately, the heat wave will subside over the weekend.
Let’s take a look at the detailed weather forecast with graphics.
Usually at this time of year, the morning temperature in Seoul is 16 degrees and the daytime temperature is 25 degrees.
It will still be hotter than usual, but the heat wave-level temperatures of over 30 degrees will disappear starting this weekend.
The morning temperature will drop below 20 degrees, making it cool.
The daytime temperature is expected to be below 30 degrees, so there is no forecast of heat wave levels.
In particular, as Typhoon No. 14 moves northward toward China, strong winds and high waves are expected in the southern seas and along the coast for the time being.
Those who are planning to travel by boat are advised to check the sailing information carefully.
