Seoul issued its first heatwave warning of the year on July 7th, marking an 18-day earlier onset compared to last year's "historically worst heat" period (July 25th). With this early heatwave warning and the end of the monsoon season, this summer's heat is expected to be unusually prolonged. Heatwave Warning Status According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the heatwave advisory issued at 10 AM on July 7th for Seoul and the metropolitan area, including regions west of the Baekdu-daegan mountain range, was upgraded to a heatwave warning. A heatwave warning is the highest level of heat advisory, issued when the maximum apparent temperature exceeds 35°C for two or more consecutive days or when significant heat-related damage is expected. Seoul's maximum temperature is forecast to reach 36°C on July 8th and 9th, with apparent temperatures expected to be even higher. Suffocating heat that makes breathing difficult even while stationary is expected to ...

South Korea's record-breaking heat wave has pushed heat-related illness cases to nearly 1,000, with emergency room visits doubling compared to the same period last year, the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency (KDCA) announced on July 9th. Surge in Heat-Related Illness Cases According to the KDCA, 238 people (including 1 death) visited 516 emergency rooms nationwide on July 8th due to heat-related illnesses. This brings the cumulative total of heat-related illness patients to 977 since the KDCA activated its heat illness surveillance system on May 15th, approaching 1,000 cases. Comparing data from the surveillance start date, 961 cases have been recorded this year versus 478 cases during the same period last year - a doubling of incidents. This surge results from the unprecedented heat wave that began in late June and continues to break records. Heat-related deaths are estimated at 7 total, more than double the 3 deaths during the same period last year. While not yet...

Seoul meteorological authorities issued the city's first heat wave warning of 2025 on July 7, with temperatures expected to soar to 36°C (97°F) on Tuesday. The extreme weather has prompted emergency health measures as heat-related illnesses surge across the metropolitan area, marking the beginning of what experts predict could be an exceptionally challenging summer season. Meteorological Conditions and Forecast According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, the heat wave warning will take effect from July 8, with maximum temperatures in Seoul expected to reach 36°C. This marks the first such warning issued for the capital this year, arriving somewhat later than in previous years but with potentially greater intensity. The persistent high-pressure system from the North Pacific continues to dominate the Korean Peninsula, creating stable atmospheric conditions that trap heat and prevent cooling. Urban heat island effects in downtown Seoul are expected to make the perce...

🔥 Preparing for Record-Breaking Heat Wave Health Strategy Summer 2025, Korea's meteorological agency has forecasted an unprecedented heat wave . Average temperatures are expected to rise 2-3 degrees higher than last year, with tropical nights significantly increasing. How can we keep our bodies healthy in this extreme heat? Simply "drinking lots of water and staying in cool places" isn't enough. We need scientific and systematic summer health management to wisely overcome the scorching heat. ❄️ The Science of Body Temperature Regulation 🌡️ Understanding Thermoregulation Mechanisms Our body constantly works to maintain normal body temperature of 36.5~37.5°C . When external temperature rises: Vasodilation : Skin blood vessels widen to increase heat release Sweating : Body temperature drops through evaporation Increased breathing : Heat discharge through exhalatio...
