This summer, it was hotter than usual for three months... Average temperature is 4th on record = South Korea

The average summer temperature in South Korea this year was the fourth highest on record. Precipitation was also recorded at 1,018.5 mm, 291.2 mm higher than normal. Temperatures remain higher than normal until August
The summer heat continues, with tropical nights still occurring in September. According to the 2023 summer (June-August) climate analysis results announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency on the 7th, the national average temperature this summer will be 24.7 degrees.
It was one degree higher than normal and the fourth highest since meteorological observations. Temperatures were also higher than normal during the summer from June to August. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, temperatures were higher than normal in all three months of summer.
Since 1973, when meteorological observations began, there have been only three such years: this year, 2018, and 2013. Compared to 2018, which recorded the highest temperature in history, this year's hot and humid winds often blow, making it humid.
He looked hot. Precipitation was also recorded at 1018.5 mm, 291.2 mm more than in an average year and the fifth highest on record. On the other hand, in 2018, the Tibetan High and the North Pacific High
Covering the country, the effect of temperature rise was significant in dry conditions. The humid air lasted all summer, and the national rainfall in the rainy season was 660.2 mm, the third highest since 1973.
In particular, the southern region received 712.3 mm of heavy rain, the highest on record. A Japan Meteorological Agency official said, ``During the rainy season, hot and humid southwesterly winds often blow along the edge of the North Pacific High, and the upper-level atmospheric pressure on the north side often blows.
Colliding with cold air coming in from the valley, the low pressure system and stationary front became even stronger, resulting in a lot of rain." There were not as many typhoons as usual this summer, but the impact of Typhoon No. 6 'Kanun'
It made a big impact. Strong winds and heavy rain fell from August 9th to 10th, and 368.7 mm of rain fell in one day in Sokcho, making it the highest daily precipitation since records were recorded.
. In particular, Kanun was difficult to predict because it had no clear directional flow (the flow of the surrounding atmosphere that influences the speed of the typhoon) until just before heading north, and after making landfall near Geoje, it crossed South Korea from north to south.
The heat of summer continues. The Seoul area experienced an unusually tropical night in September for the first time in 88 years since 1935. The easterly winds blowing from China to the Korean Peninsula move over the Taebaek Mountains.
It became hotter and caused a tropical night. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, as of 8 a.m. on the 5th, Seoul, Incheon, Cheongju, Gunsan, Jeju, and Seogwipo
The nighttime minimum temperature (minimum temperature from 6:01 p.m. to 9 a.m. the next day) in places such as Seogwipo and Yeosu was over 25 degrees. Although the country was mostly sunny on the 7th, some areas experienced the highest daytime temperatures.
It was predicted to be between 26 and 32 degrees. Yoo Hee-dong, director of the Japan Meteorological Agency, said, ``Amidst the climate crisis, we will strengthen monitoring and analysis of climate change, and use climate analysis information as future disaster prevention weather information to prevent disasters.''
We will do our best to make sure that it is utilized in the future."
