Late last week Austria and Slovenia established new records for extreme heat in central Europe. Moving east, we can now add South Korea and Japan to the list of countries with new high temperature records, courtesy the summer of 2013.
The Wall Street Journal reports Shimanto city, in southern Japan, climbed to 106 degrees (41 C) Monday, the country’s Highest temperature Ever measured.
In Tokyo, the nighttime temperature dropped to just 87 F (30.4 C) Sunday tweets The Weather Channel’s Nick Wiltgen, its highest overnight low temperature in 136 years of record-keeping.
The hot weather is being blamed for 9 deaths in Japan over the weekend writes IOL News.
In South Korea, the record-breaking heat peaked Saturday.
“The government issued a warning of power shortages and the highest temperature ever recorded by the Korea Meteorological Association was hit: 39.2 degrees [102.6 F],
South Koreans swim at Caribbean Bay swimming pool in South Korea’s largest amusement park Everland in Yongin,
about 50 km (31 miles) south of Seoul August 11, 2013.
South Korea has been suffering from the sweltering heat wave for weeks with temperatures in most parts of the country
soaring above 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), reported a local news agency (REUTERS/Lee Jae-Won)
