Seoul, the capital of South Korea, has witnessed the longest streak of tropical nights since modern weather records began. According to the weather agency, temperatures in Seoul have not dropped below 25 degrees Celsius since July 21, marking 26 consecutive nights.

In South Korea, the term "tropical night" is used when nighttime temperatures do not fall below 25 degrees Celsius. In German-speaking regions, the term "tropical nights" is often used when temperatures consistently exceed 20 degrees Celsius.

Despite forecasts of high temperatures continuing until at least Wednesday, officials urge residents to take necessary precautions due to the ongoing South Korean heatwave, which has resulted in fatalities.
