SEOUL: A streak of super-hot tropical nights broke a century-old South Korean weather record, according to official data released Thursday (July 31), as the peninsula bakes in a prolonged heatwave.
Overnight temperatures in Seoul have sizzled above 25C for 22 consecutive days in July, officials said Thursday, marking the longest such streak for the month since modern weather records began in October 1907.
