The capital broke a century-old weather record with the 26th so-called tropical night in a row – when the temperature stays above 25°C.
“The cold air is not coming down from the north and as we are affected by the warmer side of the southwest, the temperature is continuously recording around 25°C or above,” Youn Ki-han, director at Seoul’s Meteorology Forecast Division, said.
