서울 낮 최고 35도‥올해 들어 가장 덥다

It's no exaggeration to say the summer heat here in the country has been deadly, with over a dozen people dying from heat related illness.
What's even worse is that the sweltering heat is here to stay.
Lee Seung-jae reports.

The intense heat wave here in South Korea has continued for more than a week, and now the capital Seoul is forecast to reach a daytime high of 35 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, marking the highest temperature this summer.
Daejeon is expected to reach 36 degrees Celsius, with Hwasun County in Jeollanam-do Province forecast to hit 37 degrees.
While rain is expected to fall in some parts of the country, it won't be enough to quell the intense heatwave.
And the prolonged heat wave has also turned deadly, as over a dozen people have died due to heat related illness this summer.
According to the official tally from the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been at least 11-hundred heat related illness cases this year, and at least 13 lives being lost this summer.
The majority of those that have lost their lives due to the heat have been elderly farmers.
It can be especially dangerous for farmers working inside greenhouses, as temperatures inside can get far higher than outside.
For instance, with an outdoor temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, the temperature inside a greenhouse can reach 44 degrees.
At the peak of the afternoon, with the outdoor temperature at 34 degrees, the reading inside the greenhouse can spike to 52 degrees.
Experts warn that the elderly,.. who are slow to recognize symptoms, and those with underlying cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases may be particularly at risk, and should refrain from outdoor work as much as possible between 12 noon and 5 PM.
