Seoul Issues First 'Severe Heatwave Warning' Under New Advisory System Seoul has issued its first ever "severe heatwave warning" under a new advisory system, marking a turning point in South Korea's weather management strategy.
The scorching temperatures have already set new national records, and experts link this phenomenon to the increasingly dire consequences of human induced climate change.
The Korea Meteorological Administration introduced the severe heatwave warning designation three years ago as part of an effort to more effectively communicate extreme temperature risks to the public.
