Recent forecasts from the Korea Meteorological Administration indicate a moderating heatwave over the Korean Peninsula, with Seoul and Incheon expected to reach maximum temperatures near 33–34°C on August 14 amid mostly cloudy skies and a 20% chance of precipitation. Persistent influence from the North Pacific subtropical high continues to advect warm, humid maritime air, yet increased cloud cover and potential weak frontal activity could suppress peak insolation and surface heating compared to early-August extremes exceeding 39°C. Incheon’s coastal location adds a slight marine cooling effect versus inland Seoul, while model consensus on wind patterns and humidity levels creates tight clustering around 31–33°C outcomes. Traders weigh these variables against climatological August averages near 31°C, with uncertainty tied to the next model runs.
