[뉴스센터] 사실상 장마 끝, 극한 폭염 시작…7말8초 '펄펄' / 연합뉴스TV (YonhapnewsTV)

[Guest: Im Ha-kyung, Weather Science Specialist Reporter] With the rainy season effectively coming to an end, the entire nation has entered a full-blown heatwave phase. A severe heatwave warning has been issued, particularly in the Yeongnam region. Sweltering heat with a perceived temperature of around 35 degrees Celsius is expected to continue for the time being. Let's find out more about the weather situation with Weather Science Specialist Reporter Im Ha-kyung. [Question 1] The intensity of the heatwave has increased starting from the weekend. Many areas have been issued a severe heatwave warning, the highest level of heatwave advisories. First, let's take a look at the heat situation. [Question 2] Along with the heatwave, tropical nights are also rampant. A tropical night advisory has been in effect in Seoul for five consecutive days, and I understand that Jeju has experienced nighttime heat for 20 consecutive days? [Question 3] I am also curious why it is so hot. Did such an intense heatwave arrive just as the rainy season ended? [Question 4] Although further analysis from the Korea Meteorological Administration is needed, you mentioned that the monsoon season in the inland areas has effectively ended. Did this monsoon season start later than usual and end early? [Question 5] Furthermore, I understand that the southern regions are experiencing severe drought this year due to less monsoon rain? [Question 6] I am concerned about how hot it will get ahead. Recently, analyses have suggested that heatwaves and tropical conditions will start early and continue late into the season. Finally, could you please provide the temperature forecast for this week? #Weather #KMA #Heatwave #Monsoon #TropicalNight ▣ Subscribe to 'Docu-Digging,' Yonhap News TV's specialized documentary channel    / @docu-digging   ▣ Subscribe to Yonhap News TV YouTube Channel    / @yonhapnewstv23   ▣ The Beginning of Korean News, Yonhap News TV / Yonhap News TV http://www.yonhapnewstv.co.kr/
