The temperature in Seoul will rise to 31 C in the daytime, while highs are expected to range from 27 C to 33 C across the country. The hot weather is set to continue over the weekend, according to the weather agency’s forecast.

People are advised to wear sunscreen, sunglasses and long-sleeved clothes while outside, as intense ultraviolet rays are expected Friday.

Clear skies will be seen in the daytime, but clouds will linger through the night.
