Summary
A severe heat warning is issued when, in areas where the daily maximum perceived temperature has been 35 degrees or higher for two or more days, it is expected that the daily maximum perceived temperature will be 38 degrees or higher or the daily maximum temperature will be 39 degrees or higher for one or more days. On the 11th, citizens were passing over a road where heat haze was rising due to ground heat at Gongpyeong Intersection in Jung-gu, Daegu. Today's daytime high may reach 39 degrees... Especially hot due to 'Foehn phenomenon' in basin topography; at severe heatwave warning level, 'death risk' 1.16 times higher than usual; this heatwave peaks until the 13th... Rain after that but heat does not subside. Image enlargement: Heatwave in Daegu Dongseong-ro (Daegu=Yonhap News) Reporter Yoon Gwan-sik = On the 11th when a heatwave warning was issued in Daegu, merchants set up parasols on Dongseong-ro in Jung-gu, Daegu, while citizens move using parasols.
Furthermore, 2026.7.11 psik@yna.co.kr (Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Jae-young = A 'severe heat warning' was issued for Gyeongsan City and Pohang City in Gyeongsangbuk-do at 10 a.m. on the 12th. In particular, Gyeongsan-si and Pohang-si have many vulnerable populations to heat waves, such as the elderly aged 65 and over and farmers, and many outdoor workers are employed mainly in industrial complexes and construction sites, so preemptive measures to prevent human casualties are urgently needed.
