A hot spell is gripping the nation, with heat warnings being issued in almost all parts of the Korean Peninsula.

The Korea Meteorological Administration issued an intensive heat warning for Seoul, the wider capital district, western Gangwon and North Jeolla Provinces, Monday, the first of its kind this year.

The warning is given when midday highs of 33 degrees Celsius or higher are expected for at least two days, along with a heat index, which combines air temperature and relative humidity, of 32 degrees or higher.

The highs in many regions, such as Seoul, Suwon and Chuncheon, shot up over 33 degrees Monday.

“Hot weather is forecast to continue through Tuesday. Elderly citizens and children are advised to avoid outdoor activities and drink more water than usual,” a weatherman said.

Following the warning, the government had rescue workers of the National Emergency Management Agency prepare ice packs to help people suffering from heat stroke. The food authorities have also strengthened supervision on facilities providing meals which are vulnerable to food poisoning amid high temperatures.

From Wednesday, a rain front is expected to move up the peninsula with the onset of the rainy season. Central regions, including Seoul, are likely to see rain.

“The rain front is expected to hover over the country until Sunday, bringing rain all over the country except for Jeju Island,” the weather agency said.


첫 폭염주의보에 정부 피해대책 돌입
단계별로 학교 단축수업ㆍ임시휴업 검토 노인돌보미ㆍ공사현장 무더위 휴식시간제 운영 20일 올해 첫 폭염주의보가 발령되면서 정부가 소방방재청 총괄로 폭염피해 대책을 발표했다. 소방방재청은 폭염특보가 나면 종합대책에 따라 전 구급대에 얼음팩과 얼음조끼 등 관련 장비를 갖추고 대기토록 한다. 보건복지부는 독거노인과 노약자의 건강관리 방안을 만들고 노인돌보미 등이 수시로 안부를 확인하는 방문건강관리 프로그램을 운영한다. 또 전국 470여개 응급의료기관에 폭염피해 환자를 보고하도록 하는 폭염피해 감시 체계를 운영한다. 고용노동부는 야외 등 폭염에 취약한 사업장을 대상으로 근로자 건강보호에 관한 행정지도를 강화하며 건설현장에서 무더운 오후 시간에 휴식하는 '무더위 휴식 시간제'를 운영하도록 지도한다. 교육과학기술부는 폭염주의보시 학교 단축수업을 검토하고 체육활동 등 실외·야외 활동 자제하도록 하며 폭염경보가 발령되면 실외·야외활동 금지하고 등·하교 시간 조정하며 임시휴업 등의 지침을 내린다. 국토해양부는 철도시설 안전관리를 위해 열차 운전규제와 속도제한, 취약구간 감시원 배치 등을 실시하며 식품의약품안전청은 대형 식중독이 발생할 우려가 있는 집단급식소와 피서지 음식점의 위생관리에 나선다.
