Korean official forecast for Buan, Jeollabuk-do for the next few days... punching numbers into heat index, 105F daytime. With a multi-day event (running from Aug. 1 to Aug. 12) your odds of a thousand+ cases of heat illness are very, very high (very hot days, no recovery at night). Smart move to abort. #SouthKorea#heatwave#wx
