Good afternoon, Seoul woke up to its 23rd straight tropical night this morning. Warm nights and days will continue this week.

Heatwave alerts have been re-issued to regions in the east with temperatures expected to rise to near the mid thirties... Daegu will also notice warmer temperatures. Seoul will just be as hot.

Meanwhile, parts of the upper regions could see passing showers during the day but it won't bring any relief from the heat.

Most parts will see highs rising to the mid-thirties, Seoul, Daejeon and Gyeongju getting up to a blistering 36 degrees this afternoon.

This Thursday marks Malbok which is officially the last day of the hottest period of summer, but the searing heat will be with us for another week or so. National Liberation Day this Wednesday will be also hot and sunny.

That's Korea for you and here's the international weather for viewers around the world.
