The World On arirang

Good Thursday afternoon We're seeing a quite similar pattern to yesterday with unusually high temperatures reaching the upper 20's in most regions and Gyeongju, topping off at 30 degrees. The calendar says it's May,, but the weather is behaving like it's mid-July

And even after a strong wind advisory was lifted the risk of wildfire remains very high.. Yesterday's showers gave some temporary relief,, but not enough to ease the low humidity Dry weather advisories are still in place in many regions so please be extra careful not to cause a fire

Even if it's looking murkier now,, the UV index is still very high in many regions Also factor in high ozone levels and air will be dusty all day long,, in and around the Seoul Metropolitan area So it's not a great idea to stay outside for a long time if you live there

Temperatures look to be on the rise,, with a few outbreaks of rain in the forecast And Seoul is expected to hit nearly 30 degrees in the next week

Now,, let's take look at the worldwide weather conditions
