Let's now get an update on the forecast with Lee JeeHyun, who's standing by at the weather
center. Good afternoon JeeHyun
Happy Friday to everyone Mark, we've just seen pictures of the Glastonbury Festival
in England. Are you familiar with it and could you tell us a little bit about it?
Well, it's a performing arts festival known for bringing some of the best in music to
England, but it also has a lot of other events including theater, dance and more. It kicks
off the last weekend of June.
That sounds like a great event. I wish I could be there But since I'm here, could you tell
us what the weather is looking like today, JeeHyun?
Thanks for that info Mark.
You-sun, right now, some parts of the peninsula are receiving light, scattered showers and
we have a chance of isolated thunderstorms later on, so be prepared for that.
Temperatures are still staying above average across the region, which is the upper 20s
to low 30s with 60 to 70 percent humidity. But it's very humid down on Jeju, where the
humidity is 99 percent.
Tomorrow we expect a sunnier day in most regions with sweltering heat all around.
In fact, a heat wave advisory could be issued for some inland regions,.. as temperatures
will be hovering around 33 degrees, so it is best to stay indoors in the afternoon,..
but if you are planning a day out, you'll want to apply some sunscreen beforehand and
put on clothing that will protect your skin while also keeping you cool.
This weekend should be a rain free one, but the lingering monsoon front on Jeju will move
northward starting on Sunday and by next Tuesday we'll have heavy monsoon rains across the
nation.
Coming back to today's forecast,
we're under the edge of a high pressure system situated in the east.
So with that, let's take a closer look at today's readings
Seoul will climb up to 31 degrees Celsius, that's about 88 degrees Fahrenheit, while
both Daegu and Gwangju will get up to 30 and the high in Busan will be 27.
For other regions, Daejeon will hit 30 while Jeju and Mt. Geumgang top out at 26.
That's all for Korea and here is the global forecast for viewers around the world.
