Remember July 24, 2018. The Korean Peninsula had its hottest day ever.

The midday high in a small town (Shinryoung-myeon) in Yeongcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, reached 40.3C (at 3:27 p.m.), melting down the previous record of 40C set in Daegu on Aug. 1, 1942, according to the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA).

The KMA has been collecting weather data since 1907.   [Korea Times]

104.5 F. Pretty hot, I’ve felt that in the US along with humidity that made it feel hotter. Glad I had air conditioning.

Commie Moon sold out the country and nuclear power. Korea is boiling for his ineptitude.
