As the summer heat begins to wane, temperatures in Seoul are expected to drop to 19 degrees Celsius early Wednesday morning, August 12.


According to an analysis of temperature prediction models from the global weather visualization app Windy, the temperature in Seoul is projected to reach 19 degrees at 5 a.m. on the 12th.


Weather map data shows that the central and northern regions of the Korean Peninsula will be covered in green, indicating lower temperatures. In major areas at the same time, temperatures are forecasted to remain in the 10-degree range in northern Korea and parts of Manchuria, including Seoul.


In contrast, the 13th typhoon, Dolphin, which is bypassing the Korean Peninsula, has made landfall in eastern China, prompting emergency measures. On August 9, Chinese meteorological authorities issued a red alert, the highest level of typhoon warning, and mobilized a full-scale response.


As Typhoon Dolphin slowly moves northward, heavy rain and strong winds are expected to hit the eastern coastal regions of China, including Zhejiang, Fujian, Shanghai, and Jiangsu, with rainfall amounts reaching up to 900 mm. Consequently, over 500,000 residents in Fujian, Zhejiang, and Shanghai have been evacuated. The region is also experiencing disruptions in transportation and tourism, including the suspension of ferry services, flight cancellations at major airports, and the closure of theme parks.
