This summer has seen the largest number of tropical nights in the past 10 years, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration, on Monday.

This summer has seen the largest number of tropical nights in the past 10 years, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration, on Monday.

The agency said the number of the tropical nights from June 1 through July 25 averages 1.97 among weather observation stations, about 44 percent higher than the average of 1.37 days during the past 10 years.

The tropical night this year occurred July 1 in Suwon, Jeonju, Gwangju and Gumi for the first time and the hot weather spread to most of the country after July 16.

Seogwipo showed the largest number with nine days, while Gwangju and Jeongeup reported eight days, Pohang, Jinju, Gochang and Gosan seven days each, and Seoul three days.

The tropical night means that nighttime low is 25degrees Celsius or higher.



"올해 열대야 최근 10년새 가장 심했다"

올해 열대야의 발생빈도가 최근 10년 사이 가장 높았던 것으로 나타났습니다.

기상청은 6월부터 어제까지 전국 주요 관측지점의 열대야 평균 발생 일수를 조사한 결과 1.97일로 최근 10년 동안의 같은 기간 평균인 1.37일보다 44% 증가했다고 밝혔습니다.

올해 첫 열대야는 7월 1일, 수원과 전주, 광주, 구미 등에서 관측됐고 16일 이후 다른 지역으로 크게 확산됐습니다.

지역별로 보면 서귀포가 9일로 가장 많고 광주와 정읍이 8회, 포항과 진주, 고창, 고산이 7회로 그 뒤를 이었으며 서울은 3회를 기록했습니다.
