SEOUL, South Korea — Residents of South Korea’s capital are resorting to novel ways to beat the heat as a century-old weather record fell Friday following a 26th “tropical night” in a row – when the temperature stays above 25 degrees Celsius (77 Fahrenheit).
“I take a cold shower before bed and tie freezer packs around my electric fan to cool the air,” Lee Ji-soo told Agence France-Presse Friday.
Overnight temperatures in Seoul have sizzled above 25 degrees Celsius for 26 days in a row, officials said Friday, marking the longest streak since modern weather observation began in 1907.
