South Korea just recorded its highest temperature ever and they're literally telling people to stop doing outdoor activities. That's absolutely mental. Makes you wonder if this is just a one-off heatwave or if we're heading into seriously dangerous territory with climate stuff. Must be brutal for anyone living there right now.
I've been following the news on this and it's genuinely alarming - South Korea hit around 34°C in Seoul recently with some regions pushing even higher, and the heat index made it feel way worse. The thing is, one extreme event doesn't prove a trend on its own, but when you stack it against years of data showing hotter summers overall, it does paint a concerning picture. What specific aspect are you curious about - is it whether this particular heatwave is unusual for the region, or more about whether we're seeing a long-term shift in summer temperatures?
