DPRK Experiences High-temperature Weather
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)
Pyongyang, May 11 (KCNA) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has been experiencing exceptionally high temperature weather.
From April 30 to May 9, daytime temperatures hit the record high, with 27 degrees Celsius in Pyongyang, 26.6 in Phyongsong, 27.4 in Sariwon, 26.7 in Haeju, 26.9 in Kaesong and 22. 2 in Nampho.
The high temperatures were believed to be caused by the increased high pressure in the sky above the southern area, which prevented the inflow of cold air from the north.
There have been few rainfalls in the western coastal area of the country.
Until mid-May, the country's weather will be affected mainly by the high pressure in the southern area and in the Okhotsk.
Thereby, the daytime temperatures are forecast to be higher than the average ones in most parts of the country, except the eastern coastal area, with a small amount of precipitation.
Drought is likely to come to the western coastal area.
