A photo of Gwanghwamun in central Seoul taken by a thermal image camera, right, shows that the temperature in the area is very high. The temperature in Seoul peaked at 39.6 degrees Celsius (103.3 degrees Fahrenheit) at 3:36 p.m. Wednesday. The photo on the left was taken with a normal camera. [YONHAP]Wednesday was the hottest day ever recorded in Seoul.
The temperature in the city peaked at 39.6 degrees Celsius (103.3 degrees Fahrenheit) at 3:36 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). It broke the record from the summer of 1994, when the mercury hit 38.4 degrees Celsius.
The temperature in Seoul Wednesday set the record for the highest temperature in the city since the KMA started to keep record of temperatures from 1907.
Wednesday was also the day Korea’s highest temperature ever was recorded: The temperature in Hongcheon, Gangwon, hit 41 degrees Celsius, breaking the record of highest temperature recorded in Korea, which was 40 degrees Celsius in Daegu in 1942. [Joong Ang Ilbo]
They had the repatriation ceremony on Osan flightline at 6pm on Wednesday; loading caskets on aircraft. My weather app said it was 96 degrees F. and the ceremonial honor guard troops were in Class A uniforms. Whew!!

“THIS WEEK THE HOTTEST DAY SINCE 1907 WAS RECORDED IN SEOUL”
Let’s fix that…
THIS WEEK THE HIGHEST URBAN DEVELOPMENT SINCE 1907 WAS RECORDED IN SEOUL
Absolute, uncompensated temperatures mean nothing… except to remind us that we are being lied to and manipulated by those who misrepresent science for their own agendas… which mostly revolve around taking something from us for themselves.
There are 10 temperature monitoring stations in Korea on the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN).
Only the one on Ullungdo is rural.
The rest have been increasingly surrounded by concrete and cars since 1907.
They adjust for this effect… though there is evidence the adjustment is intentionally lower than it should be. Nobody makes a big deal of the reasearch papers that show a larger adjustment is needed.
GHCN friggers the numbers and then sends them to GISS, who friggers them more and everyone makes a big stink about a warming trend that is smaller than the margin of error.
When, by 1 degree, the second hottest temperature in Korea was in 1942 when there were few cars, little concrete, and far less than half the population, it should make one consider if all the alarm is a valid persuit.
Oh also I’d like to point out a lie by Yonhap:
“The photo on the left was taken with a normal camera. ”
More like it was taken by the same camera just with the FLIR functionality turned off. Duh Yonhap… Duh. 😎

Climate hoaxer and shills, some out to make a buck…or a billion in Gore’s case, and some trying to enslave the people with some BS nonsenses and some trying to do both.

Only 4 days last month the high was less than 104 here; hell it’s 2:37am and still 89 feeling like 94 here. 😥

For those interested in this subject I recommend reading Anthony Watts about the Urban Heat Island effect:
