Recent forecasts from the Korea Meteorological Administration indicate a maximum near 31°C for Busan on August 23, yet ensemble models and persistent late-summer patterns support a plausible range of 32–35°C. The dominant North Pacific High continues to drive warm, humid southerly flow with limited cloud cover or precipitation, sustaining elevated daytime temperatures typical of the season's end. Coastal sea breezes provide modest moderation compared to inland areas, while high humidity reduces overnight cooling and favors stronger daytime peaks. Trader consensus clustering around 33–34°C reflects uncertainty in final model runs and the potential for brief clear periods to push readings above the official guidance. Updated KMA briefings and refined numerical forecasts over the next 48 hours will likely refine these probabilities ahead of resolution.
