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. 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. When the Korea Meteorological Administration analyzed data from 2016 to last year over 10 years, if a severe heat warning had been in place during this period, it was estimated that Gyeongsan City would have been issued an average of 3.1 days per year.
Furthermore, 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. This is also analyzed to have corresponded to the 'longest duration of extreme heat warning' in the special advisory zone criteria along with Yongin-si, Gyeonggi Province in 2024. 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.
